Drag and Drop Seating Planner

← Back to Home

Sort your seating plan with drag-and-drop controls that work on any laptop or tablet. Yarra Valley winery weddings, Melbourne Cup lunches at the CBD function centre. Same tool, different rooms.

Move guests between tables, rearrange whole sections, watch the plan update as you go. 130-guest wedding at a Barossa cellar door or 400-guest gala at the Currumbin RSL, the mechanics are the same. Pick a name, drop it on a table, job done.

Fix mistakes before they happen

Forget worrying about making the wrong decision. There are no permanent moves. See two guests who shouldn't sit together? Drag one to another table. Changed your mind? Drag them back. Want to see if splitting a group works better? Try it in three seconds.

The visual layout shows the whole seating arrangement as you work. No mental gymnastics working out who's at Table 7. No identical spreadsheet cells. Just guests, tables, and room to shuffle until it feels right.

  • Unlimited undo and redo
  • Visual updates as you drag guests between tables
  • Colour-coding for VIPs, dietary needs, or friend groups
  • Conflict warnings if you overbook a table

Redo the whole layout in seconds

Venue's just told you they're switching round tables for rectangular? Most tools mean starting from scratch. Here you rearrange the whole floor plan (move tables, resize, rotate) and the guest assignments come along for the ride.

This is where drag-and-drop pays off. Instead of updating a spreadsheet or redrawing PowerPoint, you drag tables to new spots. The software tracks who's assigned where. The seating plan updates itself.

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

Works on iPad or Android. No laptop needed

You don't need to be hunched over a computer to build a decent seating plan. The drag-and-drop is built for tablets. Pinch to zoom on a table, tap a guest for details, drag with your finger like a place card.

Sunday evening, on the lounge with an iPad, half-watching telly, dragging Auntie Susan away from Uncle Mike (everyone knows the reason). No laptop setup, no desk, no app to install. Just a browser, a tablet, and a seating plan that comes together while you wind down.

Seating arrangements need thinking time, not computer time. You make better calls when you're comfortable. And when your mother-in-law texts with a last-minute addition, you can sort it from your phone before you get home.

  • Touch interface for iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and all tablets
  • Pinch-to-zoom for detailed table arrangement
  • Drag gestures, no stylus needed
  • Works in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, no app download
  • Saves as you go, pick up on any device

No fiddly menus or setup. Drag what you want where you want it, and the seating arrangement comes together.
