I'm currently planning my daughter's quinceañera and this book was a God-sent. It provides in-depth information on this special celebration, covering multiple latin cultures. I was not able to find another book in the market that begins to cover the quinceañera like this book does. I recommend it to anyone interested in planning a successful quinceañera.

I had my quinceanera in May of 1998, and this book really helped my mother and I plan my special once-in-a-lifetime event. Its advice is excellent, with suggestions about the dress, decorations, the mass, and other vital elements to making a quinceanera the best it can be. What's even better about the book is that it covers the traditions of all Latin cultures, so you get the best of all customs. I reccomend this book to anybody planning a quinceanera; with its details and tips, it's a must-read.

This book is very informative about options to planning a quinceanera, but it really is not a planning guide. I know about quinceaneras, but I wanted something to guide me a little more through the planning process. EX: Six months before, do this.

This book explains some different traditions, which were helpful. We are planning a quinceanera and picking and choosing the ideas we like and blending them to make the quinceanera a unique celebration. This book is a good reference guide for ideas, but I do not think it is very helpful with planning. There seems to be little emphasis on religion, which I found quite disappointing. Most of the planning emphasis seems to be on the party, which was not too helpful to us since we're planning a simple reception.

This book was not easy to find. I have been searching Amazon for almost a year. I'm glad it was finally available.

I have to say it is a wonderful guide for anyone looking for information on Quinces/Sweet Sixteen celebrations. This book explained an easy way to plan, gave us the folklore of the traditions and helped us to explain to the traditions of the celebration to Daddy.

My daughter wanted a more traditional Sweet Sixteen celebration. This book has helped all around. We would recommend it to any familia, that is planning a Quince/Sweet Sixteen celebration.

My daughter and I found this book at a small book store three years ago and could not wait to begin planning her Quinceanera which was January 13,2001! Michele really helps you begin your planning and organization with her research and the ideas that others had shared with her on their Quinceanera. Since the area we live in does not cater to "La Quinceanera", her book helped us get started. The Quinceanera was better than my daughter had imagined and the best night of her entire life. Fred Meyer's bakery at Fisher's Landing, Vancouver WA makes the Juventud Encantada cake featured in her book. Michele provides great ideas for the "recuerdos" and shopping for invitations for that very special day! We found the "Quinceanera CD's" at Borders.com and Tower Records.com THANK YOU MICHELE! We are looking forward to her new book on the Hispanic Bride's Wedding Planner. Although we can wait for wedding!

'Quinceanera!' has got first hand accounts of moms and families who have been there..planning their own childrens coming of age. Some used party planners, some did it themselves with help from friends and family. This book has been VERY HELPFUL in planning my oldest daughter's quinces in 2002 and I've dug it out again to plan daughter #2's quinces in 2009.

I started working on my daughter's quinceanera 1 year ago and found this book invaluable. It's very comprehensive and covers everything for all latin cultures. I incorporated a little of everything to create a customized quince for my daughter, with an emphasis on the religious aspect. This book gave me ideas and explored topics I didn't know existed. Thank you Michelle for writing this book.

This book was abousoulty the best information that I have found on quinceanera's out there. It takes you step by step giving great examples of menu's and ceremonies.

I am starting my own event planning business and this book has given me knowledge that I did not know previously.

I would recommend this book to anyone that is planning a quinceanera, it will save you a lot of stress and anxiety.

This book is a lifesaver for me. I only have one daughter and it is so important for us to have this beautiful event to set our heritage traditions. I was impressed with the quick delivery. My daughter loves the book.

The greatest book around to help plan for your daughters Quinceanera. It has help me see many traditions I did not know existed. Must have if you are planning a party.
