Everyone says the seating chart is the hardest part of wedding planning. It doesn't have to be. Wedding Seating Planner puts the guest list, the tables, and the room itself in one place — so you can stop wrestling spreadsheets and start making decisions. Add a guest in seconds, seat them with a tap, and watch the plan come together. YOUR GUEST LIST, PROPERLY ORGANISED • Add guests fast, with tags for family, friends, wedding party, and your own custom groups • Track RSVPs at a glance — accepted, declined, still waiting • Link plus-ones so couples are never split by accident • Record meal choices per guest DIETARY NEEDS YOUR CATERER WILL LOVE YOU FOR • Mark vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, halal, kosher and more with one tap • Log allergies — nuts, shellfish, dairy, sesame — so nothing gets missed • Add notes for the details that don't fit a label • All of it goes into the PDF you send your caterer TABLES THAT WORK LIKE REAL TABLES • Round, long (one- or two-sided), and rectangular layouts • Set seats per side, name your tables, duplicate one in a tap • See instantly which tables are full and which still need work SEE THE WHOLE ROOM BEFORE THE BIG DAY • Drag and drop tables on a floor plan of your venue • Set the room's walls, then place the dance floor, DJ booth, bar, and cake table • Rotate, zoom, and rearrange until the room feels right SHARE A PLAN PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY USE • Export a clean, beautiful PDF for your venue, planner, or caterer • Export a CSV spreadsheet when the caterer asks for "just the list" • Per-table lists include seats, meals, and dietary notes NEVER LOSE AN EVENING'S WORK • Private iCloud sync keeps your plan safe and current on every device • Start on your iPhone in a spare moment, fine-tune on your iPad in the evening • No accounts, no sign-ups, no data collected — your plan stays yours Plans will change. Someone cancels, a plus-one turns up, Aunt Sarah falls out with Uncle Pete. That's fine. Move a seat and get on with your day.
