How to make a wedding seating chart
Seat Maker keeps the seating process simple: build the room, add guests, place people, lock the important seats, and share the finished chart.
Set up your reception tables
Add round, square, rectangular, or oval tables and label them so your chart matches the room your venue is setting.
Add your guest list
Bring in names quickly, then group family members, friends, and wedding-party guests before you start seating.
Place guests at tables
Drag guests into seats, keep the right people together, and make changes as RSVPs or family requests shift.
Lock VIP seats
Hold places for parents, the wedding party, hosts, and honored guests so they do not move by mistake.
Share the final plan
Send a clear seating chart to your venue, coordinator, or helpers so everyone knows where guests belong.
Before you send the chart to your venue
Compare the finished plan with the latest RSVP list and confirm every table label matches the labels the venue will place in the room. Check accessibility needs, high chairs, dietary notes, and guests who should be close to an exit or caregiver. Export a dated image or PDF only after those details are settled, then send the same version to the coordinator and setup team. If a guest changes plans, update the working chart and replace the old export so helpers never have to guess which copy is current.
