Seating charts for weddings and events

Everyone seated where they'll be happiest.

Tell Tablescape who should sit together, who should be kept apart, and who needs the quiet table. It finds an arrangement that keeps the rules that matter most, and shows you why each guest sits where they do.

Plan your seating See how it works
Why is Dan at Table 4? Kept apart from Mia Chen, a must-rule. Your note: “his ex.” Sits with 4 college friends he knows.

How it works

From guest list to seating chart in three steps

No dragging 120 names around a diagram. You describe what matters, and Tablescape does the arranging.

Add your guests

Paste a list or import a spreadsheet. Group households and tag people as family, college friends, kids, or anything else.

Pick your rules

Choose a rule like “keep apart” or “seat together”, fill in the guests, and leave a note so you remember why.

Solve, lock, re-solve

Get a full plan in seconds. Lock the seats you love and re-solve the rest as many times as you like.

Rules

Rules that sound like you

Not every rule matters equally. Give each one a strength, and when everything can't fit, Tablescape bends the softer ones first and tells you which.

Must

Never broken

Exes apart, Grandma at the head table. If a must-rule can't be kept, you'll hear about it before you solve.

Strong

Kept whenever possible

Kids near their parents, households together.

Prefer

Nice to have

Everyone knows at least two people at their table.

Must Note: “his ex” Met

Keep Dan Reyes and Mia Chen apart

Must Seat locked Met

Seat Rose Bell at Table 1

Strong Applies to everyone Met

Keep each Household at one table

Prefer Applies to everyone Bent

Everyone knows at least 2 people at their table

Explanations

Every seat comes with a reason

Tap any guest to see which of your rules put them there, along with the note you left on each one. When a rule had to bend, Tablescape says why and what it would take to fix it.

  • See conflicts the moment you add a rule, not after a confusing result.
  • Lock a seat and everything else rearranges around it.
  • Share the plan with your partner or planner and decide together.

Your “knows at least 2 people” rule bent here. Tell Tablescape who else Priya knows and re-solve for a better fit.
