Themed packages are a 30-minute show with live music and four characters. If you want more time, we coordinate it with you based on your timeline and include it in your quote.

Usually between 10 PM and 1 AM, after dinner and the formal dances. Many couples schedule it at cake time or as the closing of the night. Our coordinators help you find the perfect moment for your timeline.

Each themed package includes live music and four characters: Boricua with Batucada or with Plenarepike (two stilt walkers, a cabezudo and a vejigante) and LED (Batucada LED or Plenarepike LED with a robot, butterflies and LED Girl). You can swap characters within the theme; if you choose a higher-priced one, you pay just the difference. Mirrors and Neon are quoted per event.

Trending for quinceañeras in 2026: Cold Sparks during the waltz (spectacular and safe), a 360 Photo Booth for social media content, Splash Drummers as an opening show, batucada for the quinceañera's entrance, LED stilt walkers as ambient characters and a professional DJ for the whole night. The most requested combination is Cold Sparks + 360 Photo Booth + DJ.

We recommend booking 3 to 6 months in advance. Cold sparks and the 360 photo booth have dates that sell out quickly in high season (May to August, December). The date is reserved with a $125 deposit.

Cold sparks require prior approval from the venue, a review of ceiling height and ventilation, and operation according to the team's instructions and the applicable safety distances.

Yes, quinceañeras are one of our most common events. For quinceañeras we recommend: batucada or pleneros for the entrance, LED characters or stilt walkers for cocktail hour, and a 360 Photo Booth for the after-party. We have combined packages designed especially for quinceañeras.

Setup time varies by service: DJ (2-3 hours before), 360 Photo Booth (1-2 hours), Cold Sparks (45 min). We coordinate available access times with the venue.

Setup time varies by service: professional DJ (2 to 3 hours), 360 Photo Booth (1 hour), Splash Drummers (2 to 3 hours including the water platform), Cold Sparks (30 minutes). For large corporate events with multiple services we recommend venue access 4 to 5 hours in advance.

No, pleneros are very versatile. A group of 4 to 6 musicians can perform in small spaces without additional sound equipment. They are ideal for gardens, cocktail lounges and outdoor spaces without amplification.

Cold sparks (also called chispas frías or grandiose) are machines that produce spark-like bursts. Their use depends on venue approval, the manufacturer's instructions, ventilation and the applicable safety distances.

The 360 photo booth platform measures about 4 × 4 feet and the rotating arm needs a clear radius of 7 feet. In total we recommend a 10 × 10-foot area for comfortable operation, including the line. It fits most event halls in Puerto Rico.

The base batucada includes four to five Puerto Rican musicians; the Batuplena Experience brings 5 who play plena and batucada in sequence. Pleneros and bomba are adjusted to the variant. All are professional musicians in full themed costumes.

The classic set is 30 minutes per performance. For events with several moments (entrance, toast, closing) we coordinate additional sets at an extra cost, defined in the quote.

They are three Puerto Rican traditions. Batucada is high-energy, festive percussion; pleneros play Puerto Rican plena with panderetas; bomba is Afro-Puerto Rican dance and percussion. All our musicians are Puerto Rican. For maximum impact there is the Batuplena Experience, which combines batucada and plena.

Yes, with one consideration: percussion instruments are sensitive to rain. We recommend having a covered area or tent available as a plan B. We coordinate in advance based on the weather forecast.
