How ChopeMyDate Began
Hello! I'm Noor, the founder of ChopeMyDate. My journey into wedding planning began when I started organizing my own wedding in Singapore for late 2025. I quickly discovered how challenging it was to navigate the unique aspects of planning a wedding here - from finding the right venues that honored our cultural traditions to understanding the proper ang bao rates.
What started as a personal spreadsheet of vendors, venues, and planning tips soon became a passion project. Friends began asking for my templates and advice, and I realized there was a need for a Singapore-specific wedding planning resource.
In 2024, I started ChopeMyDate with the mission to make wedding planning in Singapore less stressful and more joyful for couples. The name "Chope" - a uniquely Singaporean term for reserving something - perfectly captured what I wanted to help couples do: secure their special date with confidence and local expertise.
My Philosophy
I believe that every couple deserves a wedding that truly reflects their relationship, values, and cultural heritage. My goal is to provide tools and resources that empower couples to create meaningful celebrations without the overwhelming stress that often comes with wedding planning.
