SeatChart.io

Event seating is one of those jobs that stays stubbornly manual: a spreadsheet of names, a hand-drawn floor plan, and a last-minute scramble when two guests cannot be seated together. SeatChart.io collapses that into one workspace. You build the room with a drag-and-drop editor — tables, chairs, stage, bar, dance floor and other venue areas — import the guest list, and assign people to seats by dragging names onto the plan. Because the plan and the list live in the same place, a change on one side updates the other, which is where most spreadsheet-plus-diagram workflows fall apart. The output side is what makes it practical on the day. Plans can be shared with a planner, venue or client for review, exported as print-ready seating charts for the entrance table, or turned into a QR code guests scan to find their own seat — which quietly removes the queue around the printed board. The honest limits: it is a seating tool, not a full event management suite, so ticketing, invitations and RSVPs happen elsewhere and the guest list arrives as an import. Very large or unusually shaped venues still need some patience to lay out accurately. For weddings, galas, conferences and banquets where the seating plan is the stressful part, it is a well-scoped answer to a specific problem.
