The Details

Made for How Meeting Space Actually Sells

Meeting space is not a hotel room. It is priced by the hour and by the package, sold to two different kinds of buyer, and delivered by a team. Open any line for the detail your team will ask about.

Booking modesInstant book or request to book, set per space
Each space carries its own mode, and you can switch it whenever the strategy changes — seasonally, by day of week, or the moment a room becomes your flagship. Nothing has to be all-or-nothing across the property.
Pricing and packagesBy the hour, or as half-day and full-day packages
Publish an hourly rate, a half-day and full-day package, or all three for the same room. Packages carry their inclusions through to the booking, so the event and its line items are created for you instead of rebuilt by hand.
HourlyHalf dayFull day
PaymentsPay in full, hold with a deposit, or pay later
Payments are processed online and attached to the booking automatically, so the money and the booking never live in two systems. Set the rule per space, so a boardroom and a ballroom can carry different terms.
AvailabilityLive from Event Temple, never double-booked
The portal reads live availability from your Event Temple calendar before it confirms anything. Space that is held, blocked, or already sold simply is not offered, so a 2am booking can never collide with the group your team is working.
AutomationA booked package auto-creates the event and line items
The booking arrives complete: contact, company, dates, space, package, line items, source and payment. Your team's first action is working the guest, not typing the booking in.
Loyalty and discountsMembership credits and corporate rates at checkout
Corporate accounts and members see the rate they have been promised, applied automatically at checkout. Credits draw down as they book, so a negotiated agreement keeps working without anyone policing it by hand.
Multi-propertyOne chain-level search across the portfolio
Planners search the portfolio once and find the right space at the right hotel, instead of bouncing between property websites. One portfolio view for the planner, local control for each hotel — its own inventory, rates and booking rules.
Chain searchPer-property control
BrandingYour logo, colours and imagery on your own subdomain
The portal is yours end to end, including the space photography and descriptions that do the selling. Guests never feel handed off to a third-party checkout mid-decision, which is where online bookings are usually lost.

The ROI

What Selling Meeting Space Online Is Actually Worth

Demand for meeting space arrives around the clock. When your space can answer around the clock, three things change.

Capture the booking that arrives at 9pm

New revenue, not just efficiency.

A planner ready to commit tonight can commit tonight. Demand that used to move on to the venue that let them book now converts on your own site — and you see every one of those bookings.

Give your closers their week back

Hours move to the deals that move the number.

The small, repeatable requests handle themselves. Your best sellers spend their hours where the value is: the large events that need a person to shape and win them.

See one pipeline, online and offline

One source of truth for the whole channel.

Every online booking lands in Event Temple next to everything your team sold by hand, tagged with its source and payment. Leaders see the full picture and price against it.

If your meeting space captured one more booking a week, automatically, what is that worth over a year?

Why We Built It

Straight From the Team Behind It

The friction in meeting space sales isn't just a customer experience problem, it's a revenue leak. The moment a guest is ready to commit, the hotel is ready to confirm — at any hour, with no manual work on either side.
Questions, Answered

Meeting Space Booking Engine FAQ

What is a meeting space booking engine?
A meeting space booking engine is an online portal where planners check a hotel's live meeting and event space availability, choose a room or package, and book it themselves, the same way guest rooms have been booked online for years. The hotel keeps control of which spaces are bookable instantly, what they cost, and how they are paid for.
What is the Event Temple Booking Engine?
The Event Temple Booking Engine is a branded portal that lets your hotel sell meeting and event space 24/7. Guests check live availability, book instantly or request to book, and pay online, and every booking lands in Event Temple automatically with no data entry.
Who is the Event Temple Booking Engine for?
Hotels that sell meeting and event space. That runs from independent and select-service properties with a few flexible rooms, to full-service hotels and resorts, to multi-property groups running one portfolio. Inside the hotel it is usually the Director of Sales and the sales and catering team who own it, with General Managers and revenue leaders watching what the channel brings in. It earns its keep fastest at properties where small, repeatable bookings like boardrooms, day meetings and hourly space are competing for the same hours as the large events.
What problem does a booking engine solve for a hotel sales team?
The small stuff eating the week. A sales team spends hours quoting boardrooms and day meetings worth a few hundred dollars each, checking availability, sending a contract, chasing payment, while the multi-day conference worth many times more waits for a reply. Since 75% of RFPs go to the fastest responder, being slow on either one costs real business. The Booking Engine takes the repeatable bookings off your team entirely: they price themselves, confirm themselves, and arrive in Event Temple as definite business. Your sellers get their week back for the deals that need a person, and the after-hours demand that used to walk to another venue books on your own site.
How does the Event Temple Booking Engine work?
Guests browse your spaces on a portal branded to your property, confirm the details, and pay online. The moment payment succeeds, the booking is confirmed and flows straight into Event Temple as definite pipeline, tagged with its source and its payment. Requests to book arrive the same way, as a qualified lead for your team.
Can we choose which meeting spaces are instantly bookable?
Yes. You set each space to instant book or request to book, and you can switch a space from one to the other at any time. Boardrooms and day meetings can sell themselves while complex or high-value spaces stay request-only, so a person still shapes the deal.
Will the Booking Engine ever double-book a space?
No. The Booking Engine checks live availability in Event Temple before it confirms anything, so a space that is held, blocked, or already sold cannot be booked online.
How do guests pay for meeting space online?
You choose per space: pay in full, hold the space with a deposit, or pay later. Payments are processed online and attached to the booking automatically, so the money and the booking never live in two different systems.
Do online bookings sync with Event Temple automatically?
Yes. The Booking Engine is built into Event Temple, fully integrated. Online and offline bookings live in one pipeline, so your team sees everything in one place and never re-keys a booking. Booking a package also auto-creates the event and its line items.
Can we sell packages, not just hourly meeting space?
Yes. Sell by the hour, or as half-day and full-day packages with everything the package includes. When a guest books a package, Event Temple creates the event and its line items for you, so nothing is rebuilt by hand.
Can multi-property hotel groups use the Booking Engine?
Yes. Groups get a single chain-level search page so a planner can find the right space across the portfolio, while each property keeps control of its own spaces, rates, and rules. Membership credits and corporate discounts are built in.
How much does the Event Temple Booking Engine cost?
The Booking Engine is an add-on to Event Temple, priced to the size of your meeting space, so you only pay for what you sell. Book a demo for a quote tailored to your property.
