Client Reviews
What our clients say
★★★★★
SMH have been the event partner of choice since 2015 for The Clocktower Festival. I’ve personally worked with Shaun and his team in 2024 and 2025. As the lead of a local community festival which reaches 3000-1000 attendees for a day of fun and community togetherness with live music, climbing wall, bouncy castle/inflatables and more! A huge weight off my mind is knowing how reliable and professional SMH are, thank you to Shaun and his fantastic team I couldn’t more highly recommend their event management services.
★★★★★
Really great service from SMH. We hired gazebos and furniture for a community event and everything was great from start to finish, including accommodating numerous changes from our side in the lead-up. The team that came to set everything up were really helpful, friendly and professional. Would happily book with them again for future events.
★★★★★
Huge thanks to SMH Events for their fantastic work at the Plumstead Make Merry Festival 2025! They sorted out all the infrastructure—tents, stage, toilets, and bouncy castles—right on schedule, and everything looked great.
They were super easy to work with and really flexible when we had a few last-minute changes. Nothing was too much trouble, and their team was friendly, helpful, and totally on the ball.
Pack-down was just as smooth—they had everything cleared away quickly and efficiently, leaving the site spotless.
It was a real pleasure having SMH Events on board. Highly recommend them for any event—reliable, professional, and just lovely people to work with!
