What is the traditional court accompanying a quinceañera called in English?

The traditional group accompanying a quinceañera is called her court of honor.

The court typically consists of relatives, friends, or other young people chosen by the celebrant and her family. Members may take part in the entrance, formal waltz, photographs, and other ceremonial moments. Their clothing is often coordinated with the event’s theme or the quinceañera’s dress.

The court’s size and composition are flexible. Some traditional descriptions refer to 14 attendants, reflecting the 14 years before the celebrant’s 15th birthday, but modern families may choose fewer or more participants. Courts can also be mixed-gender rather than following an older fixed pattern.

A court of honor is not the same as a wedding party, although the two may look similar in photographs. Its role is ceremonial and social, supporting the quinceañera during a coming-of-age celebration rather than participating in a marriage ceremony.
