A First Holy Communion is a family celebration first and a photo backdrop second — but the two go together, and getting the styling right doesn't need to be complicated or expensive. Momentz Events supplies real backdrops, table pieces and lighting for Holy Communion, Baptism and Christening celebrations across Brisbane, priced individually so you only hire what your celebration actually needs. Here's how the pieces come together, with real prices from our current hire catalogue.
Setting the Scene: Choosing a Backdrop
The backdrop is where most of the day's photos happen, so it's worth choosing one that suits the tone of the celebration.
- Baptism Backdrop — $110. A soft, reverent design suited to a Baptism or Christening ceremony photo area.
- God Bless Eucalyptus Backdrop — $110. Natural greenery with a 'God Bless' feature, a calm and neutral option that suits almost any colour scheme.
- God Bless Blue Floral Backdrop — $110. A soft blue floral 'God Bless' design for a more colourful, celebratory feel.
Worth knowing: all three backdrops are priced the same ($110), so the choice comes down to colour and tone, not budget — pick whichever suits your venue and outfit colours rather than defaulting to the first option you see.
The Celebration Table
Most Holy Communion celebrations include a small table for the guest of honour — a cake, a photo display or a keepsake table — and this is where a few well-chosen pieces make the biggest visual difference for the least cost.
- White Plinths — $60. A clean, high-gloss plinth for a cake or keepsake display.
- White Round Tablecloth — $15. A crisp, full-drop tablecloth that gives any table a finished look.
- Flower Wreath — $20. An elegant artificial flower wreath for framing a table, doorway or the backdrop itself.
- White Metal Cake Stand — $120. A statement stand if the cake is a centrepiece of the celebration.
A tablecloth, a plinth and a flower wreath together come to $95 — a full table setting for well under $100.
Finishing Touches: Lighting and Signage
A few smaller pieces round out the space without adding much to the budget.
- Gold Candle Holder or Rose Gold Candle Holder — $50. A candelabra-style centrepiece for the table.
- Fairy Lights — $35. Soft ambient lighting for an indoor venue or an evening celebration.
- Customised Welcome Sign Printing — $30. A personalised welcome sign with the child's name and date.
- Chair Sashes & Bands — from $1 per chair. The simplest way to tie guest seating into the colour scheme.
Building Your Own Holy Communion Styling Set
Because every piece is priced on its own, it's easy to scale the styling up or down to suit the venue and the guest list:
- Backdrop only ($110) — enough for a dedicated photo area if the venue already looks after the rest of the room.
- Backdrop + table setting ($110 + $95 = $205) — a backdrop plus a styled cake or keepsake table, the most common combination.
- Full styling set (backdrop + table setting + candle holders + welcome sign, around $325) — for a celebration where the family wants the whole space styled, not just the photo corner.
Most Brisbane families land somewhere in the middle tier — a backdrop and a styled table is enough to make the celebration feel properly put together without overspending on a day that, unlike a wedding, doesn't need a full reception styling budget.
