Cultural fluency your familia deserves.

Why families choose Lucia

One day. One team. Every detail.

Cultural fluency

Bilingual & familia-first

We plan in Spanish and English: every conversation, every contract, every rehearsal. Lucia and her bilingual team know the tradiciones (the Padrinos, La Última Muñeca, the Vals) by heart.

Choreography

Vals & surprise dance, taught

From the formal Vals con Padre to the high-energy surprise dance with the Court, our team coordinates choreographers, rehearsal schedules, and practice spaces, so your teen feels confident, not panicked.

Court of Honor

Damas & Chambelanes coordination

From dress-and-tux measurements to processional choreography, your Court is wrangled, rehearsed, and ready. No frantic group chats the week of the party.

Vendor network

Tampa's Quince circuit, on speed-dial

Florists, photographers, gowns, DJs, ballroom-experienced banquet halls: Lucia and her team have worked with all of them. You get her vetted shortlist, not a Google search.

The Process

Five steps, from first meeting to last sparkler.

01

Discovery

Get to know each other.

A complimentary consultation: in person, virtual, or in Spanish at the family table. We talk traditions, budget, dates, and what would make her feel celebrated.

02

Vision & Theme

Build the world together.

Color story, dress silhouette, ballroom vs garden, traditional Vals or a contemporary surprise dance. The vision document becomes our shared north star.

03

Vendor + Choreography Curation

Lock in the people.

We present a curated shortlist of florists, photographers, DJs, and choreographers, vetted for Quince experience. You meet the finalists; we negotiate and contract.

04

Rehearsals

Practice until it's effortless.

Court of Honor measurements, Vals choreography, surprise-dance rehearsals, processional walk-throughs, vendor walkthroughs at the venue. Confidence comes from reps.

05

Event Day

She lives the day. We run the day.

Lucia and her team are on-site from setup through last-dance. Vendors managed, timeline executed, family fully present in the moment.

What it's like to plan with Lucia.

“I hired Lucia to organize my daughter's 15. She is very organized and detailed in what she does. I am very grateful for her patience, dedication and effort. Many thanks for everything.”

“100% recommended! I admire her for her high level of excellence in everything she does. She organized my wedding, my daughter's quinceañera, my niece's quinceañera, and everything was a success!”

“I live in NC but I put my trust in Lucia without ever meeting her before my daughter's Sweet 16. She listened to me and brought the vision of my daughter's theme to life better than I can imagine. This was a party we will never forget.”

Frequently Asked

Buenas preguntas.

A Quinceañera celebrates a Latina girl's 15th birthday and carries deep cultural and (often) religious meaning: the Vals con Padre, the Court of Honor (Damas y Chambelanes), La Última Muñeca, and frequently a Misa de Acción de Gracias. A Sweet 16 is the modern, secular American counterpart at age 16, typically lighter on tradition, heavier on personal style. We plan both, and many families blend elements of each.
