Build a seating chart that connects your room layout with your guest list. Place tables, assign names, adjust groups, and export the plan you need for your next event.
See how the Seating Chart Maker turns the displayed setup into its matching layout. Compare the requested people count and furniture with the available seats before adding names or making changes.
Open the editor and add tables, or generate a starting layout. Choose the people count and seats per table, then adjust the arrangement.
Paste a list or import a spreadsheet, check the name columns, and add groups or notes. Assign people manually or arrange them using seating rules.
Check unseated guests and table assignments before finishing. Download an editable backup, export the guest list, or prepare the seating chart for print.
Move, rotate, and resize tables on the canvas instead of squeezing your event into a fixed picture. Your table seating chart stays editable as the guest count changes, so the plan can follow the room.

Bring your guest list into the seating chart maker from a spreadsheet. Review the name, group, dietary, and note columns before importing, so each person keeps the details you need when assigning seats and checking the final plan.

Use the seating chart generator to keep selected people at the same table or on different tables. Preserve existing assignments when needed, and review the result before making individual changes on the canvas.

Keep names and seats in the same workspace, making it easier to spot guests who still need a place before exporting.
Preserve assigned seats during automatic arrangement, so a new pass can focus on the people you have not placed yet.
Use undo and redo while editing. A downloaded backup gives you another way to return to a saved version later.
Choose a diagram for room setup or a guest list for table checks, rather than asking everyone to interpret the same file.
Start with the online seating chart maker at no cost. Build a layout, import guests, and try seat assignments. Choose Pro when you want to save or export. Solo designs are unsaved, so keep the editor open until you decide how to continue.
Yes. You can paste spreadsheet rows or upload a supported guest file, then check the import mapping before adding records. A CSV guest list is a useful starting point. Keep one person per row and review names, groups, and optional notes in the import preview.
The seating chart generator assigns people to available seats while applying the rules you select. Together means the same table or desk; apart means different tables or desks. You can also preserve existing seats and keep named groups together when there is enough capacity.
Yes. Automatic arrangement is a starting point you can edit. Move guests to different seats, change table details, or adjust the furniture on the canvas. Check your choices again after manual edits, because the automatic rules guide arrangement rather than policing every later move.
Add capacity or revise the layout before trying again. An automatic arrangement that cannot satisfy the available seats or rules returns an error without partially applying the result. That helps you correct the problem while retaining the current seating arrangement and guest records.
Choose a paid plan to save your seating chart maker design and return to it later. Pro and Collaborate include one saved chart and 90 days of access. Save your latest changes before closing the editor, and keep an exported backup for a separate editable copy.
With a paid plan, the seating chart maker exports an editable plan backup, a guest list, and printable charts. Use the chart for room setup and the list for assignments. Preview the format before distributing it, especially when records include comments or dietary information.
Yes. Applying a generated layout replaces the furniture and clears obsolete seat assignments while keeping the person details. The editor asks you to confirm that replacement. Download a backup first if you want to retain the current version, and use undo if you change your mind.
A seat chart shows people in the room, while a guest list organizes their records and assignments. The diagram helps with placement, and the list helps you find a person or review notes. Both come from your current plan.
Use the wedding or classroom workspace for those starting layouts, the templates tool to compare reusable arrangements, and the floor plan tool when room measurements matter.
Bring your guest list to the seating chart maker, design your layout, and choose a plan when you are ready to keep it.
