SJH Entertainment and Events | Company Overview

SJH Entertainment and Events is your trusted partner for professional entertainment and event hire across Ballarat and surrounding regions. Everything you need to know about hiring us for your function can be found right here!

Our Story

Founded in 2010 by owner and lead DJ Sam Haans, SJH Entertainment and Events began with a simple goal: to deliver high-quality entertainment at a fair price, without the stress or hidden costs often experienced in the industry. After seeing so many others charge premium prices for poor service, Sam set out to create a better alternative - one that focused on great value, exceptional experiences, and seamless event delivery.

What started as a modest mobile DJ setup quickly grew into a thriving business. Today, SJH Entertainment and Events operates with multiple staff, vehicles, trailers, and an extensive range of professional equipment. From intimate lounge room celebrations to large-scale exhibition centres and premium wedding venues, we have proudly established ourselves as one of Ballarat's favourite professional DJ and event service providers.

We are still a small family business at heart and that is how we will always operate! You will often see Sam, wife Caitlyn and their children Poppy and Teddy setting up for events together supported by an amazing team and family.

Growth and Innovation

Our business has continued to evolve to meet the needs of modern events:

  • 2020: Expanded our Photo Booth offerings to include Mosaic Walls, introduced Cool Room Hire and added decorative hire inspired by the creative vision of Caitlyn!
  • 2021: Added a comprehensive range of wedding decor, including chair covers, sashes, draping, and more.
  • 2023: Introduced LED light-up letters and numbers, complementing our already popular floral and white letter collections.
  • Late 2023: Expanded further with soft play hire and an increased range of backdrops, arches, and plinths.
  • 2024: Fully upgraded almost all of our DJ equipment, enabling the older equipment to be used for Party Hire. We also added a huge range of Backdrops, Arbors and Furniture to our hire range.
  • 2025: Continued to grow our Soft Play offering, now having 5 colours to choose from as well as a Bubble Dome and White Jumping Castle. We also upgraded our slushy machines and added a beautiful 10m x 10m White Dance Floor to our hire catalogue!

Each addition has been carefully selected to allow us to offer a complete, cohesive event solution as we continue to grow.

Our Equipment

We use only top-tier, professional-grade sound and lighting equipment to ensure your event looks and sounds exceptional. Our fully portable setups are designed to suit venues of all sizes, with complete setup and pack-down handled by our experienced team.

Our equipment includes premium brands such as Electro-Voice, RCF, JBL, Denon, and Samsung, alongside computer-controlled lighting, lasers, special effects, and crystal-clear display options. Whether you prefer a clean, minimal setup or a more elaborate production, we can tailor everything to your venue and vision.

How We Work

A typical event setup takes approximately 90 minutes, completed well before your function begins, with pack-down taking around 60 minutes after the event. Setup and pack-down time is of course included at no extra cost.

Our pricing is transparent and competitive, with no hidden fees. Unlike many providers, we include equipment and features that others may charge extra for - What you're quoted is exactly what you pay!
