Seating

Everyone at the right table, without the spreadsheet.

Build the hall, set who sits together and who is better kept apart, and seat the guests from the answers they already gave you. Then print the plan for the venue.

The hall plan

A plan that says what each table is

Rooms, tables and objects in the proportions of your hall. Every table carries how full it is and one line underneath: the group sitting there, the sides, or the replies. Tap a table.

How it goes

From an empty hall to a printed map

  1. 01

    Build the hall

    Rooms and their shapes, seats per room, a stage, a bar and a dance floor. Come back to the same screen months later.

  2. 02

    Say who sits with whom

    Groups that should sit together and pairs that should not, straight from your guest list, sides included.

  3. 03

    Seat, then check

    Drag guests in, tap them in on a phone, or run smart seating. A warnings list takes you to every table that needs you.

  4. 04

    Hand it over

    Table cards, per-table charts and a map of the whole hall; the charts and the map show a preview first.

Groups and rules

The family politics, written down once

Tell the plan who belongs together and who should not share a table. Smart seating follows it, and the plan marks any table where a rule is broken.

Marked on the plan if they end up at one table

  • “Fill the free seats” on one table draws on the group already sitting there, then on its side
  • A guest who declines keeps the seat until you remove them, and the plan warns you
  • Up to three seating variants side by side, one of them marked final
Smart seating

Rooms, shapes, rows

The hall you actually booked

Several named rooms, round or L-shaped, with the wall between two of them taken away when it is really one open space. Tables keep to the floor that exists.

Seven table shapes

  • Roundup to 24
  • Squareup to 24
  • Rectangularup to 24
  • Ovalup to 24
  • Longup to 40
  • Serpentineup to 40
  • U-shapedup to 40

Rows of chairs for the ceremony

No tables at all: real seats in rows, with aisles, VIP rows and accessible places, kept inside the room.

  • VIP row
  • Aisle
  • Accessible place

Hall objects, where they stand

  • Stage
  • Screen
  • Dance floor
  • Musicians
  • Buffet
  • Bar

Settings per room

People per table, table shape and arrangement are set room by room, and each room can be rebuilt without touching the others.

Paid add-onEnabled per event

AI floor plan

Upload the venue’s drawing, get the hall (Paid add-on)

With the AI floor plan switched on for your event, AI reads an image or PDF of the hall plan and proposes its rooms and tables. You check them and keep going.

  1. 1
    Upload

    An image or a PDF of the hall drawing from the venue.

  2. 2
    Fit it to the hall

    Mark a stretch whose length you know and enter it: the drawing fits itself to your hall.

  3. 3
    AI proposes

    Rooms and tables appear over the drawing, ready to adjust.

It never seats or moves a guest.

Without the paid add-on you can still upload the drawing and build the hall over it by hand.

For the venue

Everything the venue team asks for

The plan leaves the planner as files and paper, each made for the person who will hold it.

  • Whole-hall map

    The whole hall on one page, every table in its place and at its angle. No guest names: those are for the table cards.

  • Per-table charts

    One table to a page on A4, Letter or A5, in Hebrew, Russian or English, whatever your screen language.

  • Table cards

    A card per table with the names of the people sitting there.

  • Excel and CSV

    The seating as a spreadsheet, for anyone who wants their own copy.

The charts and the hall map show a preview before they print.

The small things

Made for the week everything changes

  • Saves itself

    A few seconds after your last change, with a word beside the plan saying it is saved.

  • Seating on a phone

    A screen of its own: tap a guest or a whole group, then tap the table.

  • Plan, list or cards

    The same tables three ways. List and cards seat by picking, from a keyboard too.

  • Marks on the chair

    VIP, accessible and switched-off seats, each a badge on the seat itself.

  • Hall overview

    The whole hall at a glance; tap a table and the plan flies to it.

  • Read-only when it should be

    Hosts can look without moving anything, and the plan locks once the event has passed.

Instead of

Paper, Excel and a family chat, or one plan.

The organiser panel

What fills the plan, and what comes after it

The seating plan reads the same guest list as everything else. Three tabs of the panel around it.

Every reply, the moment it arrives

Answers from WhatsApp, SMS, the invitation site and phone calls land in one guest list, with how many people each guest brings.

  • Attending, waiting and not coming, counted for you
  • Each answer shows how it arrived: a message, the site or a call
  • Each guest's RSVP history, answer by answer
