About

Tablee

The seating plan, minus the three hours of sticky notes. You enter your guests and your rules: who belongs together, who should stay apart. Tablee builds the floor plan and leaves you the final say on every seat. WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGES • You describe, the app seats. "These two together", "definitely not those two", "children at one table". Tablee looks for the arrangement that honours the most rules. • It tells you what it gave up. When two rules contradict each other, it doesn't choose in silence: it shows the trade-off and lets you decide. • A last-minute cancellation breaks nothing. Remove a guest, run it again: the plan recalculates while moving as few people as possible. Anything you placed by hand stays put. • You keep control. Drag someone with a finger, pin them, run it again. What you fixed is never undone. • Your guest list arrives in one go. Paste a spreadsheet, import an Excel, CSV or PDF file, pick from your contacts, or type names with Quick add: "Emma & Louis Martin" makes a household. Households, groups, meals, allergens and replies all come through, and each group can be gathered or spread out, as you choose. • A room to your measurements. Dimensions to the tenth of a metre, seven table shapes, stage, dance floor, bar, buffet, entrances, pillars. And several rooms: drinks in the garden, dinner in the barn. ON YOUR IPHONE, AND ON YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU LIKE Everything works without an account on iPhone and iPad, even offline. An optional, free Tablee account brings your plans to your computer, in the web app at app.tablee-app.com, and back again. Sign in with Apple, or with a six-digit code sent by email. On your computer, a QR code signs the app in with one scan of your camera. THE PLANS Free: one event, up to 5 tables The full editor and the full seating engine: this is not a trial. Documents carry a "Made with Tablee" line. This event: one-time payment Up to 200 tables on the event of your choice, and every document without a watermark. No subscription, no renewal. This is the wedding plan. You pay once, for your day. Tablee Pro: yearly subscription Unlimited events and tables, watermark-free documents everywhere. Built for caterers, venues and wedding planners running one event after another. With an account, your purchases count on iPhone, iPad and computer.
