Looking for an interesting idea to "WOW" your guests with?  How about bringing the Alamo to your next event here at the Courtyard on St. James...the Alamo drafthouse that is!  They will set up a screen with sound and digital video projection to play any movie or slide show you would like.  This is perfect for a birthday bash, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, Quinceanera or any other special event you are planning for!

Quincenera Celebration

Lori Evans - Monday, July 11, 2011

In Latin American cultures, when a girl turns 15 (Quince anos) there is a wonderful celebration in her honor that celebrates her transition from childhood to young adulthood.  The event typically begins with a waltz accompanied by her father or partner.  Dinner and LOTS of dancing typically follow.

Dessert for past events have varied from a sundae bar, cupcakes with pink or white frosting and our signature quincenera chocolate fountain with PINK chocolate!  That's right, pink chocolate.  It is always a hit as it is paired with fluffy marshmallows, strawberries, pineapples and large pretzel sticks.

Whether your party will be an intimate of 50 or 300 guests the Courtyard on St. James has the room and dance floor space to make this a memorable night for your little princess!
