Oasis Events is the exclusive management company and caterer for two of downtown Indianapolis’ brightest special event venues: The Terrace ar Market Tower and Murat Shrine Temple, each with its own restaurant and banquet/catering components. Oasis is known for its imaginative catering and its chefs have worked at some of the best restaurants in town. Their menus are extensive, their presentation unique.
By day The Terrace at Market Tower is a restaurant, but at night it is an exceptional private venue and caterer for wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners or corporate events, offering spectacular views of downtown Indianapolis and seating up to 200.
 With a majestic location in the Massachusetts Avenue cultural district, the Murat Shrine serves two core audiences; the general public and the many clubs within the Shrine group. With a restaurant and three distinct ballroom settings, this venue is ideal for weddings and corporate events.
Rendezvous to the rescue
To streamline its events scheduling and boost booking accuracy at both venues, Oasis Events recently installed Rendezvous SaaS, the hosted version of NFS Hospitality’s advanced meeting room, conference and foodservice management solution; choosing this option resulted in absolutely no installation or IT costs for Oasis.
The client's view
Patti Stowers, Owner/Operator of Oasis Events, is very happy with the deployment of Rendezvous Events at both locations. "Rendezvous has made a huge difference to our operations and we enjoy using the system," she says. "It suits our needs perfectly as we use Rendezvous to handle inquiries to ensure that none are overlooked."
She also likes the calendaring capabilities and the concise view provided of upcoming events. "We can input feedback and notes for each event and client," she adds.
The CCReg in Rendezvous is another plus. This lets staff attach documents and graphical layouts for clients. In regard to contracts, Patti likes the way Rendezvous allows her team to use confirmations within the system and set her own terms and conditions.
The advantage of Rendezvous SaaS – the hosted solution
Having the system hosted by NFS is a big benefit, comments Patti. "It makes things easy and it’s great being able to access Rendezvous from anywhere!"
Going forward beyond The Terrace and Murat, Oasis is looking into a third venue offering similar facilities. With Patti singing the praises of Rendezvous, it looks likely that this system will play a central role in the new operation. |
