Drag and Drop Seating Planner

← Back to Home

Build your table plan with drag-and-drop controls that work on any laptop or tablet. Whether you're sorting top-table seating at a Cotswolds country-house wedding breakfast or tables of ten at a City livery-hall charity ball.

Move guests between tables, shift whole sections, and watch the plan update as you go. From a 100-guest marquee wedding in Devon to a 250-guest hen do in Edinburgh, the mechanics stay the same. Click a name, drop it on a table, done.

Fix mistakes before they happen

Forget worrying about making the wrong decision. There are no permanent moves. Spotted two guests who really shouldn't sit together? Drag one to a different table. Changed your mind? Drag them back. Want to test splitting up a group? Try it.

The visual interface shows you the plan as it stands, in real-time. No mental gymnastics trying to remember who's on 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 consequence
  • Real-time updates as you drag guests between tables
  • Colour-coding to track VIPs, dietary needs, or friend groups
  • Instant warning if you overbook a table

Redesign the whole layout in seconds

Venue just told you they're switching from round tables to rectangular? With most tools that means starting over. Here you can rearrange the whole floor plan visually (move tables, resize them, rotate them) and the guest assignments adjust with you.

This is where drag-and-drop earns its keep. Instead of updating measurements in a spreadsheet or redrawing in PowerPoint, you drag tables to new positions. The software keeps track of who's assigned where. The plan updates itself.

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

Works on your iPad or Android tablet, no laptop needed

You don't need to be hunched over a computer to sort a good table plan. The drag and drop planner is built 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 the same way you'd move a physical place card.

Picture it: Sunday evening, you're on the sofa with the iPad, half-watching telly, casually dragging Aunt Susan away from Uncle Mike (we all know that's a bad idea). No laptop setup. No sitting at a desk. No special apps to download. Just the browser, your tablet, and a table plan that comes together while you relax.

This is how professional event planners tend to work, because seating decisions need thinking time rather than computer time. You'll make better calls when you're comfortable. And when your mother-in-law texts about a last-minute guest, you can sort it from your phone before you get home.

  • Touch-optimised interface for iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and other tablets
  • Pinch-to-zoom for fine table arrangement
  • Drag gestures that feel natural, no stylus needed
  • Runs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, no app download required
  • Saves automatically, pick up where you left off on any device

No complicated menus or configuration. Drag what you want where you want it. That's it.
