ALY PLAHM
Owner, Operator
Aly was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago. While she was in college, she was accepted into the Disney College Program and started her career as a professional character entertainer, performing as a face character at the Happiest Place on Earth. During her time with Snow White and many other famous characters, Aly fell in love with character performing and quickly developed an intense passion for creating magic, dream building, and empowering young girls to be whatever they wish to be.
​
After finishing school in Florida, Aly moved back to her hometown with a dream. She poured her heart, soul, and savings account into the creation of Windy City Wishes. When it comes to magic, she doesn't believe in shortcuts. Each character is carefully designed, each performer is specifically trained, and every event is thoughtfully planned out, right down to the last speck of pixie dust.
​
Walt Disney once said "There is no magic in magic. It's all in the details" and his statement holds true with Windy City Wishes.
​
Experience the difference, experience the quality, experience the MAGIC. If you're 1 or 100, Windy City Wishes will make all of your wishes come true...
​
...and we can't WAIT to make magic with you!
