SBG Hospitality, a McKinney-based event planning company, is celebrating its five-year anniversary during the month of March. Since opening, owners Lauren and Andrew Stephan have organized several annual events in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including the McKinney St. Patrick’s Day Festival and Shamrock Run, Plano Food and Wine Festival, and Frisco Oktoberfest.

“We opened SBG Hospitality in 2017 and have loved every minute of the frenetic planning that goes into each event, which starts with securing sponsorships, vendors and city permits,” SBG Hospitality co-owner Lauren Stephan said in a news release. “We have met amazing people and have created incredible partnerships over the past five years. 2020 proved that we’re an innovative and resilient group of event professionals.”

At each event, SBG Hospitality partners with a local nonprofit to “bring awareness to its mission,” co-owner Andrew Stephan said in the release. Some of the organizations the company has worked with include Hugs Café, McKinney Little Free Pantry and Frisco Veterans of Foreign Wars.
