What is the full ceremonial group of attendants at a quinceañera called?

The full ceremonial group of attendants at a quinceañera is called the court of honor.

This court traditionally surrounds or accompanies the celebrant during formal parts of the event. It can include damas, or female attendants, and chambelanes, or male attendants. Members may take part in the entrance, posed photographs, speeches, and choreographed dances.

The court reflects the importance of family and friendship in the celebration. It is not a legal or religious institution, and its members do not have a single compulsory duty. Some courts are large and highly formal, while others contain only a few people or are omitted altogether.

The phrase is sometimes confused with a wedding party because the visual arrangement can look similar. A quinceañera court, however, belongs to a birthday and coming-of-age tradition rather than a marriage ceremony. Modern families often customize its membership and presentation.
