What Spanish term describes the ceremonial group of attendants at a quinceañera?

The ceremonial group of attendants at a quinceañera is called the corte de honor.

Corte de honor translates as “court of honor.” It generally consists of the celebrant’s selected damas and chambelanes. The court may accompany her during the entrance, participate in formal photographs, and perform a rehearsed dance at the reception.

The size and composition of the court are flexible. Some celebrations include equal numbers of young women and young men, while others use a smaller group or a different arrangement. There is no universal requirement that every quinceañera have a court.

The phrase describes the group, not the venue or the religious service. Damas are female attendants, and chambelanes are male escorts. A padrino or madrina is normally a sponsor, so those terms should not be used as synonyms for the entire court.
