Houston Tents & Events Ranked No. 13 on HBJ’s 2026 Fastest-Growing Companies List

Estimated reading time: 3 minutes

Houston Tents & Events has been named to the Houston Business Journal’s 2026 Fastest-Growing Companies list. We earned the No. 13 spot among Houston’s 50 fastest-growing private companies. The ranking recognizes our 72.68% revenue growth from 2023 to 2025.

What This Recognition Means

For us, this ranking means more than a number on a list. It represents the trust our customers place in us every time they hand us one of their most important events. It also represents a team that shows up ready to execute, no matter the complexity, the timeline, or the conditions. Most of all, it represents the relationships we have built with customers, partners, and the Houston community from the beginning.

Since launching on January 1, 2020, Houston Tents & Events has grown from a startup into one of Texas’ leading event infrastructure companies. Today, we support corporate gatherings, nonprofit galas, sporting events, festivals, weddings, emergency response projects, and large-scale public productions. Every event is different, but each one gets the same standard of care.

This latest honor also builds on a strong year. We ranked No. 71 on Inc. Regionals: Southwest, made the Cougar 100 for the third year in a row, and earned a spot on the Rental Management Market Movers list for the fifth consecutive year.

How We Got Here

Growth at this pace comes from deliberate decisions made at every level of the company. We invested early in operational systems, safety certifications, and a team capable of executing at scale. We built relationships with clients who trust us to deliver and partners who help make that possible. We also said yes to the complex jobs that pushed us to grow and no to the ones that did not fit our standards.

Our leadership has grown with the company as well, including Stephen Naleway’s promotion to Chief Operating Officer. At Houston Tents & Events, how we grow matters as much as how fast we grow. Every milestone has to be earned in a way we can stand behind.

Thank You

This recognition belongs to the people who made it possible. First, our employees, who show up every day and do the hard work. Next, our customers, who continue to trust us with their most important events. We also thank our vendor partners, who help us deliver at the level our clients expect. Finally, we thank the Houston community for supporting us since day one.

We are proud to stand alongside so many outstanding Houston businesses on the HBJ list. Most of all, we are proud of everything this team has built together. Looking ahead, our focus stays the same: helping people come together through exceptional events while we grow and serve more communities across Texas.

Thank you, Houston.
