Event seating, made simple
A place for
everyone.
The big day. The little details. The people you love.
Bring them all together with a seating plan that just makes sense.
Less spreadsheet. More celebration.
There’s a lot to plan.
Let’s make the seating simple.
The guest list in one tab. The floor plan in another. A mental note about who should sit where. Seating brings it all into one thoughtful workspace.
A room you can see.
Turn a blank canvas into your venue, complete with tables, a stage and a little room to dance.
People, not just names.
Keep the couples together, the tricky dynamics apart, and the details out of your head.
Changes you can handle.
A late RSVP? One more plus-one? Move guests around and check the fit as plans evolve.

Get to know the way Seating works.
What is Seating?
Seating is an online seating chart maker for weddings, corporate events and celebrations. Create a venue layout, manage your guest list, assign tables and export the guest list as a CSV.
Can I bring my existing guest list?
Yes. Export your spreadsheet as CSV and upload it to Seating, or add guests individually. Only a name column is required.
Can I keep certain guests together or apart?
Yes. Set must-sit-with and must-not-sit-with preferences. Seating flags conflicts as you assign guests so you can resolve them before the event.
Does Seating automatically assign every guest?
No. You stay in control of the assignments. Drag guests, move groups, swap people or use the table selector, with capacity and preference checks along the way.
Can I try it before signing in?
Yes. The interactive example on this site lets you explore a sample seating plan without an account. Sign in with Google to create and save your own events.
How do I share the finished assignments?
Export the guest list and table assignments as a CSV from your event workspace. Review the included preference fields and remove private details before sharing a copy.
Bring it all together
Good times start
with a good plan.
The room, the guests, the little details.
Give everyone a place to belong.
