Overview
How each tool is described
Event Temple
What is Event Temple?
Event Temple is hotel sales and catering software that combines hospitality CRM, group sales, room blocks, event management, proposals, contracts, banquet event orders, invoicing, payments, and reporting in one system. It is built specifically around hotel group and event workflows rather than requiring teams to adapt a general-purpose CRM.
- Sales workflow: hotel teams can manage inquiries, leads, accounts, contacts, pipelines, sales activities, group bookings, room blocks, negotiated corporate business, and revenue forecasts. Room-block pickup and group production can be tracked alongside the underlying booking, while automated workflows handle recurring follow-ups and sales tasks.
- Events and catering: Event Temple manages function-space availability, event diaries, proposals, e-signature contracts, Banquet Event Orders (BEOs), invoices, deposits, and online payments. Booking details flow into documents and operational event records, reducing the need to re-enter the same information as a deal moves from inquiry to delivery.
- Implementation checks: buyers should assess PMS connectivity, data migration, payment requirements, property and user permissions, reporting, workflow automation, and multi-property governance. Event Temple provides real-time PMS integrations with systems including Mews, Stayntouch, Cloudbeds, Oracle OPERA Cloud, and Apaleo, alongside an open API and integrations with payment, productivity, BI, and automation tools.
- Commercial considerations: pricing currently starts at $249 per month and scales according to property or portfolio requirements, with additional fees possible depending on setup. Published pricing is based on annual payment, and Event Temple states a minimum one-year contract term; group and chain pricing is available for multi-property customers.
Event Temple is particularly relevant to hotels, venues, and hospitality groups that want group sales, catering, events, room blocks, and hotel-specific CRM processes managed within the same operational workspace.
MeetingPackage
What is MeetingPackage?
MeetingPackage is an AI-native central reservation and sales platform built specifically for hotel Groups, Meetings & Events. It manages venue inventory, pricing, enquiries, proposals, bookings, lead routing, and distribution across individual properties and multi-hotel portfolios.
- Booking and sales workflow: the CRS brings email, phone, walk-in, partner-channel, and online enquiries into one pipeline with room availability, holds, customer profiles, pricing, and booking status. Its Booking Engine exposes live pricing and availability for instant booking, while larger or more complex events can enter as RFPs and continue through proposal, amendment, and confirmation workflows.
- AI Suite: MeetingPackage currently has five specialized agents. The AI Email Agent extracts dates, attendance, meeting rooms, F&B, budget, and contact information from inbound RFPs and can follow up for missing details; the AI Phone Agent converts natural-language calls into structured enquiries. Venue Search, Event Builder, and Booking Assistant extend AI into venue discovery, conversational event creation, room configuration, and quoting.
- Distribution and integrations: MeetingPackage advertises 100+ first-party integrations plus REST APIs and webhooks. Connections span PMS and Sales & Catering systems such as Oracle OPERA, Mews, Event Temple, and Infor, as well as distribution channels such as Cvent. Its Distribution API supports availability searches, direct bookings, RFPs, messaging, booking management, and real-time webhook events.
- Platform structure: alongside the core CRS and AI Suite, MeetingPackage provides a direct Booking Engine, interactive eProposal, Global Lead Passing for portfolio-wide lead routing, and a Channel Manager for synchronizing meeting inventory across distribution partners. Public standard pricing is not currently listed; purchasing is primarily demo- and sales-led.
MeetingPackage is most relevant to hotels and hotel groups that want enquiries, venue availability, pricing, proposals, distribution, and AI-assisted sales automation to operate from one M&E-specific reservation system rather than separate inboxes and sales tools.
