I guess you would just call them "sponsors (of the event)". You shouldn't call them "event's sponsors" (with the apostrophe), because they do not sponsors that *belong* to the event, they are just sponsors *of* the event. Event sponsors or sponsors of the event.
Hello, Donay!
I came across this page while looking for a way to say "padrinho" in Portuguese. (I posted this answer in another entry, too.)
It's a little complicated, because the wedding customs are different in the States. This is how it goes...
The bride has several bridesmaids who stand in support of the bride. Her best friend stands beside her and helps her, and is called the maid of honor.
The men who stand on the grooms side are called groomsmen; and his best friend, who stands beside him and assists him, is called the best man.
So how do you say "padrinhos" in the Brazilian sense, meaning couples that go in and stand together in support of either the bride or groom? I am still not sure. It wouldn't be "godparents", because that is related to Catholic baptism, not weddings.
-----------------
Doing some research on the Internet, I found that padrinhos are commonly used in weddings in Mediterranean countries, too, and they are commonly called "wedding godparents"; so I guess that is the correct term. Of course, you will have to explain what that means to people in the U.S.
-----------------
I guess another term could be "wedding sponsors", which is the way padrinhos seems to be translated from some Spanish-speaking countries.

Hello, Tim!
I added information to the post. I think things are more clear now. What do you think?

That sounds good, Donay. However, we just have to keep in mind that "maid of honor" and "best man" represent only one kind of the padrinhos on each side - the best friend of the bride, and the best friend of the groom. If I were to say that I was the best man at somebody's wedding, you would automatically assume that I was the groom's best friend, or brother, or something. The other men that stand on the groom's side are simply called groomsmen. The same goes for maid of honor and bridesmaids. Also, the groomsmen and bridesmaids are not necessarily couples. So in the typicial Brazilian fashion, best man and maid of honor would not always be the best translation for "padrinho/madrinha".
There isn't actually a "best" translation. All four, "godfather", "godmother", "best man" and "maid of honor" are good; "Padrinho" e "Madrinha" in Portuguese refer both to weddings and baptisms. It all depends on context. They're equally common in Portuguese.So in the typicial Brazilian fashion, best man and maid of honor would not always be the best translation for "padrinho/madrinha".

I agree with you. Those are definitely terms that can be used, depending on the context. But what I was trying to say is that sometimes it would be best not to use the term "best man" when translating the term padrinho from Portuguese to English. For example, my wife and I were padrinhos for a Brazilian-style wedding this past weekend. I wouldn't tell people in the U.S. that I was "the best man", because they would interpret it to mean that I was a special attendant to the groom, his best friend, that stayed with the groom during his wedding day, that went to the altar with him, carried the rings for him, etc. So I would probably just say that I was a padrinho, and explain that a padrinho is a "wedding godparent" or "wedding sponsors" of the bride (or groom).
