Seating Chart
1. Your guests
Tap a guest to select them, then tap an empty seat to place them. On a computer you can also drag guests straight onto seats.
Add one guest
Or import many at once
Paste CSV with columns name, group, keep apart (keep-apart names separated by ;). A header row is fine. Or upload a CSV file.
Unseated guests
No unseated guests yet. Add guests above, or try the sample list.
2. Your tables
Add tables, then place guests. Removing a table sends its guests back to the unseated list — nobody is deleted.
3. The floor plan
Drag a guest onto a seat, or tap a guest and then tap a seat. Drag a seated guest to another seat to move them (dropping on a taken seat swaps the two guests), or drag them back to the unseated list. Selected guests are highlighted in gold.
How a good chart comes together
- Start with groups, not names. Put a family or friend group in the Group box — auto-seat keeps people with the same group together whenever a table has room.
- Note the awkward pairs honestly. The “keep apart” box is private: it only steers auto-seat, and it never appears on the printout.
- Let auto-seat do the first pass, then tidy by hand. Drag the last few guests yourself — the head table and the tables nearest the dance floor usually deserve a human eye.
- Print two copies: one for the venue door and one for the caterer. The CSV export is handy if a planner or venue wants the list in a spreadsheet.
SeatPlanner is a planning aid. Double-check the final chart before the big day — especially head-table places and any guest with access needs, who should always be seated with their needs in mind first.
