 * Hello,
 * I want to be able to setup a few different templates with some basic information
   that will be repeated across all events so that I don’t have to copy and paste
   each time a new event is created.
 * I saw the developer documentation about overriding templates which is great, 
   but it doesn’t quite do what I need to do. I also saw that you can use theme 
   templates for display, but it seems like you can only select this template once
   and not on an event per event basis.
 * Is it possible to setup several templates like Template 1, Template 2, Template
   3 and then map them onto specific events when those events are created?
 * Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

 * Not sure if this solves your problem or not, but you can use the conditional 
   tags to display different layouts. I use conditional categories to create different
   single event page layouts and pull in different items depending upon what category
   it is in.
 * You could probably make 3 tags and conditionally build the design using and has
   and has_no respectively for each template

 * Im afraid that this is not possible at the moment however you can try replicating
   your theme template single.php and rename it to single-event.php which then you
   can do custom php coding to change formatting
