Drag and drop seating that stays fast

Seat Maker keeps drag and drop simple so you can focus on the people, not the tool.

Why it helps

  • Move guests between tables in seconds.
  • Try alternate placements before locking the final plan.
  • Keep visual clutter low while making quick edits.

Seat Maker workflow

  1. Step 1Import or paste the guest list so every name is in one place.
  2. Step 2Add tables that match the shape and size of the real room.
  3. Step 3Drag guests onto tables, starting with the groups that must sit together.
  4. Step 4Adjust placements until the room reads well, then export the final chart.

What to check before you finalize

  • Confirm table capacities before you start moving names. A visually balanced chart can still fail if one table has more chairs than the venue will set.
  • Review households, accessibility needs, and guests who should be separated after every major rearrangement instead of relying on the room view alone.
  • Save the final hand-edited arrangement as the version you export so an earlier experiment does not reach the setup team.
