Fix Mistakes Before They Happen—Just Drag and Drop

Forget worrying about making the wrong decision. With our drag and drop seating planner, there are no permanent moves. See two guests who shouldn't sit together? Drag one to a different table instantly. Changed your mind? Drag them back. Want to test if splitting up a group works better? Try it in three seconds.

The visual interface shows you exactly what your seating arrangement looks like in real-time. No mental gymnastics trying to remember who's at Table 7. No spreadsheet cells that all look the same. Just guests, tables, and the freedom to rearrange until it feels right.

  • Unlimited undo and redo—test ideas without fear
  • Real-time visual updates as you drag guests between tables
  • Colour-coding to track VIPs, dietary needs, or friend groups
  • Instant conflict detection if you overbook a table

Redesign Your Entire Layout in Seconds, Not Hours

Venue just told you they're changing from round tables to rectangular? With most tools, that means starting over. With our drag and drop seating chart builder, you can rearrange your entire floor plan visually—move tables, resize them, rotate them—and watch your guest assignments automatically adjust.

This is where the drag-and-drop interface truly shines. Instead of updating measurements in a spreadsheet or redrawing everything in PowerPoint, you simply drag tables to new positions. The software keeps track of who's assigned where. Your seating chart updates itself.

  • Drag tables to match your actual venue layout exactly
  • Switch between round, rectangular, and mixed table shapes instantly
  • Resize tables to accommodate 4, 6, 8, or 10+ guests per table
  • Export your final layout to PowerPoint, PDF, or print-ready format

Works Perfectly on Your iPad or Android Tablet—No Laptop Required

Here's what nobody else will tell you: you don't need to be hunched over a computer to create a brilliant seating plan. Our drag and drop seating planner is fully optimised for tablets with a touch-first interface. Pinch to zoom in on a specific table. Tap a guest to see their details. Drag with your finger exactly like you'd move a physical place card.

Picture this: it's Sunday evening, you're on the lounge with your iPad, half-watching telly, casually dragging Auntie Susan away from Uncle Mike (because we all know that's a bad idea). No laptop setup. No sitting at a desk. No downloading special apps. Just your browser, your tablet, and a seating chart that comes together naturally whilst you relax.

This is the workflow professional event planners use—because seating arrangements require thinking time, not computer time. You'll make better decisions when you're comfortable, not stressed at a desk. And when your mother-in-law texts with a last-minute guest addition, you can fix it from your phone before you even get home.

  • Touch-optimised interface for iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and all tablets
  • Pinch-to-zoom for detailed table arrangement precision
  • Drag gestures that feel natural—no stylus needed
  • Works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox—no app download required
  • Automatically saves your work—pick up where you left off on any device

No complicated menus or configuration—just drag what you want where you want it. Magic Table Planner makes seating arrangement feel effortless.
