About
Event Temple is a comprehensive venue management and sales platform purpose-built for hotels, wedding venues, conference centers, and hospitality businesses. It replaces fragmented workflows with a single, cloud-based solution that covers the full sales and operations lifecycle — from initial inquiry to final invoice. At its core, Event Temple features a drag-and-drop sales pipeline CRM that gives teams full visibility into every lead and booking. The platform generates digital proposals, contracts, and invoices in as little as 30 seconds, enabling teams to respond to inquiries up to 50% faster than competitors. Smart Mail automates follow-up sequences for tours, proposals, BEO confirmations, final head counts, and overdue invoices, resulting in 3x more follow-ups than the industry average. Additional capabilities include hotel group sales tools, banquet event order (BEO) management, multi-property chain management, PMS integrations, and powerful reporting dashboards. Teams typically save 5+ hours per week on sales and operations admin tasks. Event Temple is ideal for hotel sales managers, venue coordinators, catering directors, and hospitality groups looking to streamline operations, increase revenue, and deliver a better client experience. With a multi-user system, workflow automation, and a 40-country user base, it scales from single properties to large hotel chains.

Cons
- Hospitality-Specific Focus: Designed exclusively for hotels, venues, and catering operations — not suitable for general event planning or non-hospitality businesses.
- Non-Transparent Pricing: Pricing details are not publicly listed on the website; users must book a demo or sign up to learn about costs, which adds friction for budget evaluation.
- Learning Curve for Full Feature Set: The breadth of features — pipelines, workflows, chain management, PMS integrations — may require meaningful onboarding time for new teams.
