Getting
Married, was born out of Ma. Erlina "Kutchie" Zaldarriaga’s
passion for being of service to people in need of assistance
to organize events, particularly weddings. What started out
as a “ just for free” service, hosting and organizing
weddings to friends and relatives have now become a professional
venture.
Ma. Erlina "Kutchie" Ranola Zaldarriaga,
is a typical Bulakena, with a natural flair for entertaining
people and being around them. Guests comfort in every ocassion
is her utmost concern. This attitude was developed in early
childhood having been exposed by her mother, to help out
in entertaining their guests during her parents socio-civic
involvements and the year round parties held in their sprawling
garden in Bulacan. At that time, her family was also in
the food service business thus the exposure to be people-service
oriented.
As a Grade School and High School student,
Kutchie was always a class officer and active participant
in organizing school events . During college, at St. Scholastica’s
College in Manila, she was Class President all throughout
her stay there as well as President of the Business Management
Club . During her stint as club President, she organized
various school fairs and projects like concerts and fund
raising activities. She was a Business Management Awardee
for Academic Excellence. After her graduation she continued
to be active in being of service even to her native Bulacan
by being the secretary of the Bulacan Tourism Council and
Kabisig movement.
Kutchie believes that each individual
has a mission in life. Having a keen sense for creative
ideas and for putting things in order, she organized Getting
Married to assist and help out couples in structuring and
implementing their dream weddings into reality. This is
specially true for couples who don’t have the luxury
of time to prepare for their own weddings. With Kutchie
at the helm of Getting Married, every client is assured
of her personal sincerity and professional service . Flexibility
to any situation is the aim of her group. Her support team
of selected and trained individuals are committed to enliven
and lighten up the loads of preparation, until the last
minute.
