Wine and Your Wedding
I was recently interviewed for Fine Living online’s article about pairing wine with your wedding meal. Wine is one of my favorite things to talk about (other than weddings that is). But what better than talking about wine AND weddings!!!!

Ali Phillips on NBC Chicago
This is such exciting news! I was most recently asked to be on the NBC Chicago news last Sunday morning, May 25th at 6:24am on NBC Channel 5 Chicago. They did a wedding rules and wedding guest tips section and invited me to be there to be their “expert”.
Alex Perez and Elle Pai Hong are the weekend anchors and were so nice to me when I arrived on their set. I had not been on live TV ever and Alex was super nice and offered some great tips right before we were on air LIVE!
Thank You Notes
From the moment you get engaged until you are back from your honeymoon, there will be many reasons to write thank you notes to everyone. Nothing says “Thank You”, like a hand written thank you note for anything from a gift, to just a thank you to say, “thanks for calling” or thank you for being my friend! Try to stay away from using email, phone calls and text messages for the special thanks to everyone.
Janie and Kevin Hoffmeyer
We are thrilled to recommend Ali to anyone who is looking for a wedding coordinator! Ali was absolutely great to work with and she struck the perfect balance between professionalism and humor. She is extremely organized and diligent in her follow-up and provided us with a much needed sense of direction throughout the process.
The Daily Bride
The Daily Bride is a new wedding TV show that was recently launched in Chicago. And, I am so excited as I have been asked to be the “resident” expert on the new and amazing wedding tv show, The Daily Bride. It is Chicago’s first online wedding show and a great place for new brides and grooms to look for vendors and get some great wedding tips. There is also a forum section where you can chat with other brides in Chicago!
The Daily Bride is the first of its kind in Chicago, a weekly show that features vendors from all aspects of the wedding industry and offers newly engaged couples the unique opportunity to shop from the comfort of their own home.
This new site is a unique site to Chicago and a wonderful site for new brides to check out venues and vendors. Check it out today and check out the Ask Ali section for some great wedding tips.
