Positioning guardrails

Frequently asked questions
How much does Event Temple cost?
Pricing starts at $249 per month, with all prices based on annual payment and a minimum one-year term. Event Temple quotes per property and portfolio, offers chain and group pricing, and provides an unlimited-users option so sales, catering and operations work in one system without per-seat math. Depending on setup requirements there may be additional fees, and data import fees vary. A demo produces a personalized quote for your property.
How long does it take to go live?
Event Temple states a typical go-live range of one day to four weeks, and onboarding includes bringing your data over from your current system. Customer references report new hires trained in about three days, with most teams live in days rather than months.
Does Event Temple replace our PMS?
No. Event Temple is the sales and catering layer. It runs two-way, real-time PMS integrations with Mews, Stayntouch, Cloudbeds, Opera Cloud and Apaleo so availability, rates, guests and room blocks stay in step, and an open, documented API covers systems that are not in the marketplace.
Can Event Temple run multiple properties on one account?
Yes. Every property sits in one login with portfolio-wide pipeline and reporting plus shared templates across hotels. The largest hotel group on the platform runs nearly 200 properties on one account, and chain and group pricing is available.
Does Event Temple include AI features?
The core platform is workflow-focused. Conversational AI arrives through marketplace integrations: Oli, an AI sales assistant that answers and qualifies leads across chat, WhatsApp, SMS, email and voice and writes contacts, notes and tasks into Event Temple, and Siv, which provides instant first responses. SeatPlan adds AI floor-plan import from a photo or PDF. Availability, pricing and data handling for these add-ons should be confirmed with Event Temple.
