After a christening or baptism service, families typically gather at a church hall, community venue or private home for a reception. Expo Hire supplies the equipment you need — from water boilers and tea urns to cups and saucers, chairs and tables — delivered directly to your venue.

Christening receptions are often arranged at short notice once a church date is confirmed. We carry enough stock for gatherings of any size, from an intimate family tea to a large afternoon reception for extended family and friends.

How does delivery of christening hire work?

Working out delivery costs is easy with Expo Hire — simply use our carriage calculator to find which of our branches is near to you. Tap your postcode in and it will confirm whether we cover that postcode, which of our 11 branches is closest to you, the cost for delivery from that branch, and any possible extra charges.

Once you have filled your basket and confirmed your delivery dates and postcode in the checkout, we will show you an itemised cost for delivery so you know exactly what you are paying for before you place your order.

Want to know when your delivery is coming? You can track your driver using our real-time maps on the day of delivery and collection. Simply enter your postcode and order number on our order tracking page and find out when our driver will arrive. We also send an automated text with a tracking link on the day.

Pay just 25% deposit when booking large christening hire orders

For orders over £500, Expo Hire offers a 25% advance payment scheme. Pay a quarter of the order total to confirm your booking, with the remainder due 28 days before delivery.

There is no application form or quote needed — the checkout will automatically offer this option when the order value exceeds £500 and the delivery date is more than a month away. Full details are in our terms and conditions.
