Question 1

What is a seating chart maker?

Accepted Answer

A seating chart maker is a visual tool that lets you arrange guests at tables for events like weddings, corporate dinners, and parties. Instead of using spreadsheets, you drag and drop guests onto a visual floor plan, making it easy to experiment with different arrangements and handle last-minute changes.

Question 2

Is Magic Table Planner really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — the free plan lets you create seating charts for events with up to 30 guests. There is no time limit, no credit card required, and no watermarks on exports. For larger events, you can upgrade to the premium plan with a one-time payment (no subscription).

Question 3

Can I import my guest list from a spreadsheet?

Question 4

How do I share my seating chart with my venue?

Accepted Answer

You can export your seating chart as a PDF with table numbers, guest names, and meal preferences. You can also share a view-only link that shows the latest version of your chart — perfect for venues, caterers, and co-planners who need to stay updated.

Does it work on mobile devices?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Magic Table Planner works in any modern web browser on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Your seating charts save to the cloud automatically, so you can start on your laptop and make last-minute changes from your phone at the venue.
