Custom table layouts for real venues

Venue layouts are rarely perfect grids. Seat Maker lets you mirror the room so staff can follow your plan.

Why it helps

  • Use round, rectangle, square, and oval table types.
  • Adjust table positions as your floor plan changes.
  • Keep table names clear for event-day setup teams.

Seat Maker workflow

  1. Step 1Check the venue floor plan for table shapes, counts, and capacity.
  2. Step 2Add round, rectangle, square, or oval tables to match the room.
  3. Step 3Position and resize tables so the layout mirrors the real space.
  4. Step 4Name each table the way the setup team will label it on the day.

What to check before you finalize

  • Ask the venue for the latest floor plan, including doors, service aisles, stages, columns, and accessible routes before recreating the room.
  • Use table names that match the physical signs. Consistent labels prevent staff from interpreting two different numbering systems during setup.
  • Leave realistic clearance around busy areas rather than using every open patch of the canvas for another table.
