| Today's ceremonies embrace religious traditions, and the virtues of family and social responsibility. The custom is a celebration of the young girl (la Quinceanera), and a recognition of her journey from childhood to maturity. The celebration highlights God, family, friends, music, food, and dance.
The celebration traditionally begins with a religious ceremony. The festivities include food and music, and in most, a choreographed waltz or dance performed by the Quinceanera and her court.
The Quinceanera's court can be comprised of young girls (called a Dama), young men (called Chambelán or Escorte or Galán) or a combination of both - traditionally up to 14 persons in the court, which with the Quinceanera, would total 15 young people.
The Quinceanera traditionally wears a ball gown, with her court usually dressed in gowns and tuxedos. Guests usually receive small tokens, cápias and cerámicas, to commemorate the celebration.
Your Sweet Sixteen is a once in a lifetime event. And the entertainment you choose should be the very best. That's why Dee’s Craft & Special Events offers various packages for every budget that are perfect for your Sweet Sixteen.
The Sweet 16 Candle Lighting Ceremony is performed as a "highlight" of the party. The birthday girl chooses 16 people or groups of people who are special to assist in lighting each of the 16 candles. Prior to the lighting a brief verse is read on why they are special. Once they are called up to light the candle a related song is played by the DJ. We offer consultation and instructional planning on this event so that no detail is left out.
Your "Sweet Sixteen" party should be an evening filled with memories that you and your friends and family will remember for a lifetime. We can help create a very unique and memorable "Sweet Sixteen" party
