Celebrating a Quinceañera (15th birthday) is one of the most special and unforgettable days for a young woman that marks her transition from childhood to adulthood. Being true to customs traditions is the key for a memorable night but they can be incorporated with a twist to adapt the event to a modern style.   

We’re breaking down 10 must-have party elements to ensure your Quinceañera is one for the books.

1. Event Theme

Have LED Screens and light shows instead of a traditional stage. LED screens will create any type of theme or travel around the world with just a click and they are a modern element to project the traditional Quinceanera video clips and theme videos. The light show will completely change and set the room atmosphere for the night.

2. Room Decoration

Pay attention to details and make it unexpected. Incorporate less traditional colors and have statement floral arrangements and furniture areas around the room. Grand Salon has several vendor partnerships to ensure you have access to the best party suppliers in town!

Use a less traditional seating layout. Have lounges, conversational tables and a VIP for teenagers and you can always have traditional seating for adults if you as an option to keep up with traditions.
