A quinceañera, a rite of passage and part birthday party, marks an important milestone for Latino girls. It symbolizes an entrance to womanhood when the girl turns 15 and showcases her readiness for marriage.
But unlike in the past, a quinceañera celebration now has the trappings of modern bash, with live music and only a hint of the traditional practices depending on the family belief systems. Some popular party themes include Disney’s “Frozen.” This is blended with traditional dance and pop culture choreographs.
Making a Quinceañera Memorable
Teenage years are your daughter’s most important stage in life, and a party to celebrate her transition to womanhood should be up to level. Depending on how flexible the family is and the girl’s preference, the quinceañera can incorporate mainstream pop music.
The mariachis, dances and professional photography are all important in contemporary quinceañeras. There are also princess inspired dresses for the occasion, and depending on the budget, the family can organize a quinceañera horse-drawn carriage entrance. There is so much creativity to play around with when it comes to your daughter’s quinceañera.
The event is like a wedding, and the pomp and splendor that a wedding gets should also be accorded to your daughter transitioning to womanhood.
Most Latino parents have saved for a long time to treat this special stage in their daughter’s life as memorable as possible. Make it so through your choice of event space and other things.
At Villa Ragusa, we understand how important a quinceañera is to your daughter and family. As a result, we have the amenities to accommodate a large crowd of up to 650 people, a sumptuous food menu, and an event experience to make quinceañeras memorable. Villa Ragusa allows outside catering for families that prefer to have intricate details in their cakes and other delicacies. Contact us today.

Traditionally, it was the responsibility of the bride’s parents to host the rehearsal dinner. Still, surprisingly, couples are gradually taking over these pre-nuptial parties and customizing them to fit their needs and budgets.
That means it may be up to you to make it a completely casual affair or an intimate one. But whatever direction you choose, keep the following in mind.
Responsibility for the Dinner
As mentioned earlier, hosting the pre-nuptial dinner can be done by the couples themselves or either side of the family. Sometimes, it can even be by a family friend or a friend of the couple. But if the couples and their families are super traditional, the groom’s side of the family will foot the bill.
Keep it Simple
The night before your big day is not usually the time to go on a celebratory spree. Keep it simple and leave the best for the wedding day. You don’t want to tire everyone or treat everyone to a celebration that overshadows the main event.
Invitations
The rehearsal dinner is an entirely different affair from the wedding. This also applies to the invitations, as they don’t have to be too formal. Use phone calls or word of mouth, but make sure to send out invitations between four and six months before the event.
Decide on a guest list before sending out the invitations. Do you want family members alone or with a few friends in attendance as well?
Other people to include in the wedding rehearsal list include the ushers, officiants, and some out-of-town guests. What size of the crowd is sufficient? Keep this at the back of your mind when drawing up the list. If you are not careful, the bridal party and some families can add up to quite a sizable crowd.
But all in all, Villa Ragusa has the amenities and services to accommodate a wedding rehearsal dinner crowd of up to 600 people. Talk to us today!

One of the most important reasons for holding an event is to create memories from experience and enhance participation. The more memorable the event turns out, the better.
Usually, the challenge comes in strategizing on ways to leave lasting impressions on the participants. But it is not impossible.
A unique experience can come from visiting a museum, art gallery or even a sports facility. But it can also come from a special event venue such as Villa Ragusa in Downtown Campbell.
Memorable Venues
Your clients are more likely to remember the meeting when you hold it in a memorable venue. An event space with unique modern architecture, interior decors and exceptional catering service will have the same impression on the senses as visiting an art gallery. People will recall the surroundings and the key moments of the meeting.
In addition, it will be a lot easier to impress upon the attendees without any problems. It becomes easier to sweet talk the stakeholders to support your project when you are in an impressive venue.
Visually Appealing
A visually appealing event with such facilities as exotic outdoor balconies, a dance floor and a mahogany bar impresses even the budget-minded of the attendees. There is no better way of keeping everyone excited through the meeting than being in a visually appealing venue.
Cost
The value of an event venue is always worth it when everything is visually satisfying, and the services are above board. However, the event organizers must ensure the value of attending is more than the cost of the event in the exotic venue.
A Change of Pace
The sameness of formal events can be excessively monotonous, especially in the modern fast lane society. Rising stars are more interested in the experience and associate it with the agenda of the meeting.
Switching to a more exciting venue will increase attendance and participation. A change of pace is always refreshing and is an essential ingredient for creativity.

The bar/bat mitzvah is one of the most important for the parents of Jewish boys and girls. As a result, it has become one of the essential celebrations in recent years. If there is a bar/bat mitzvah coming up, there are a few considerations that should be at your fingertips.
Pick the Date
Before you can make any bar/bat mitzvah plans, you will need to know, among other things, the actual scheduled date of it in the synagogue. Everything will revolve around this one date.
Depending on the congregation size, the date assigned may go as far as three years in advance. But in normal circumstances, this date is as close as birthday.
Decide on the Party Venue and Entertainment
A lot depends on the crowd size and the location of the party. What size crowd do you intend to have, and where do you want to hold the party? Afternoon or evening?
Will the party be only for kids, or you’ll include other ages? Will the menu be kosher or non-kosher?
Choosing a great setting such as Villa Ragusa saves on decorations, and the events manager is always at your disposal to help with your plans. And most importantly, if you’re going kosher for the event, Villa Ragusa allows you to use your own caterer. Please contact our staff for more information.
Typically, entertainment theme depends on various factors, such as your budget and audience. Ideally, choose a good balance to accommodate different age groups. You can hire a disc jockey to entertain the kids during the cocktail hour for the rest of the crowd.
Food and Beverages
The typical food and beverage options that you can discuss with the caterer include passed hors d’oeuvres, carving station with roast turkey or beef and the kids-targeted hors d’oeuvres such as hummus with chips or mini-tacos.
Do you plan on having separate menus for adults and kids?
For the main reception and cocktail party, decide on an all-cash bar or partial open bar. Villa Ragusa has great bar options where kids can also get smoothies and soft drinks.
