Haltom City, Texas – June 12, 2024 – Everyone knows what a “sweet 16” party is. And the way it signals a teenage girl’s entrance into young adulthood. But not everyone knows of the lovely equivalent tradition in Mexico, Southern Europe, and Latin America. Of course, in Texas, we’re aware of it. For a girl, the celebration is called a quinceanera. For a boy, a quinceanero.
The difference is, it happens when they turn 15.
“This is a time-honored tradition,” observes Jennifer Knittel, the long-time Marketing Manager of the event center, the top choice among local quinceanera venues. “From girlhood to womanhood, from boyhood to manhood – it’s an event that is a rite of passage. And we certainly endeavor to do it with joy and respect.”
At that age, the teenage years, young people are often accumulating a wonderfully large circle of friends. Which is why the Tarrant Events Center’s ability to accommodate from 50 to 300 makes it
an ideal destination for a quinceanera or a quinceanero.
The celebrant girl and her court of young ladies (“damas”) or the celebrant boy and his court of young men (“chambelanes”) will naturally be the center of attention through most of the event, and at the Tarrant Events Center, the festivities can all be simultaneously streamed on our ten huge LED TV’s. When the dancing begins, our state-of-the-art speaker system will play music so beautifully that it transports and transcends.
“At a quinceanera, there’s always great food,” add Jennifer. “It simply comes with the territory and TEC has options from the caterer of your choice to fun food trucks to the cost-saving option of doing the food yourself and using TEC’s finishing and warming kitchen included with every venue rental.”
What proud parent who partakes of the heritage won’t be on the verge of tears watching their “baby” transition to adulthood, all made possible by choosing just the right event-space rental
from people who care.
Come celebrate this significant and enjoyable life passage for that young person in your family or circle of friends.
