What Spanish term describes the group accompanying a quinceañera in formal ceremonies?

Corte de honor is the Spanish term for the group accompanying a quinceañera in formal ceremonies.

The phrase translates as “court of honor.” Its members may participate in the entrance, religious service, photographs, choreographed dances, and other presentation rituals. Depending on local custom, the court can include relatives, friends, or a mixture of young men and women.

The court is not identical in every celebration. Its size, dress, titles, and responsibilities vary by family and region. Some modern quinceañeras use a small group, while others omit a formal court entirely.

English descriptions may also call the participants the quinceañera's court. Spanish terms such as chambelanes and damas can identify particular male and female roles within that broader ceremonial group.
