About Turnkey Tents & Events

More Than Local. We're From Here.

A family-run outdoor event company built in New Braunfels, Texas by two guys who have spent 20+ years living, working and showing up for this corner of the Hill Country.

Steve and Trey, founders of Turnkey Tents & Events

Our story

It started with a trailer and a Texas State Saturday.

Steve and Trey launched Turn-Key Tailgate in 2024 to fix game day in San Marcos — the hauling, the setting up, the sunburn, the missing bathroom. The trailer with two TVs, Starlink and an AC restroom was the answer, and word got around fast.

Then the calls changed. A contractor wanted a topping-out lunch. An HOA wanted a tent for the pool party. A company wanted its appreciation day in the parking lot. We kept saying yes, kept buying bigger tents, and realized what we really do isn't rentals — it's turning outdoor spaces into events.

Turnkey Tents & Events is that company. Turn-Key Tailgate is still here as our game-day division, same crew, same trailers. The rest of the week we're building events for the communities we grew up in.

Why it matters

New Braunfels isn't our service area. It's home.

Twenty-plus years here means we know the parks, the venues, the lots, the soil and the weather — and most of the people we set up for.

We live here

Our families, our kids' schools and our church are all in Comal County. We're not driving in from a warehouse two hours away.

We show up for the community

School fundraisers, church events, youth sports, nonprofits — we support them with our gear and our time.

We know outdoor spaces

Which fields flood, which lots bake, where the wind comes from on the river. That's not in a manual.

We treat it like family

God first, honest and fair, tenacious in the heat and the rain. Your guests are our guests.
