Christening Reception Hire
Christening receptions are usually relaxed family gatherings, often held at home, in a village hall, or at a hired room. The common challenge is having enough seating, tableware, and serving equipment for a larger group than a home can usually accommodate.
For a seated christening lunch or tea, we hire rectangular and round banqueting tables alongside folding chairs, Cross Back chairs, and Chiavari chairs. White folding chairs are a popular choice for christenings because they are light, easy to arrange, and suit the occasion without being overly formal. We also hire high chairs for younger guests.
We hire full place settings including plates, side plates, cups and saucers, and cutlery. For a christening tea with sandwiches and cake, cups and saucers and side plates are the main requirement. For a sit-down lunch, we supply the full setting. Glassware for soft drinks, prosecco, and wine is available alongside.
White and ivory tablecloths are the standard choice for christenings. We hire them in sizes to fit rectangular and round tables, in full floor-length and half-drop options. Napkins are available in matching colours.
For a buffet or afternoon tea spread, we hire serving platters, cake stands, tiered cake trays, and serving utensils. Hot water urns are available for tea and coffee service.
Most christening receptions involve 30 to 80 guests. Get in touch with your numbers and we will put a straightforward equipment list together for you.
