Banquet seating chart software
Banquet seating done in one afternoon
Round tables of 8 or 10, head table at the front, dance floor in the middle. Drag, drop, label, and export the chart your venue's banquet captain expects.
A banquet seating chart assigns guests to round dinner tables (typically 8 or 10) with a head table and dance floor. SeatPlan.io supports drag-and-drop banquet layouts, scaled venue dimensions, head-table presets, dietary tracking, and A3 PDF exports your venue's banquet captain can mark up on the night.
Three steps. That's it.
Built for the people doing the work, not the people selling the software.
1. Drop the venue layout
Set the room to scale, drag in round tables of 8 or 10, place the head table along the front, mark the dance floor and bar.
2. Import and assign
Paste your guest list or upload CSV with dietary and meal selection. Drag guests to tables by group — family, friends, work colleagues.
3. Print for the captain
A3 PDF for the banquet captain, Excel seat list with dietary columns for the chef, place cards for stationery — one click each.
Built for banquets
The features that matter for this kind of event — not a generic toolkit.
Round table presets
Standard 60-inch (8-seat) and 72-inch (10-seat) round tables ready to drag — chair counts adjust automatically as you resize.
Head table and sweetheart presets
Drop a head table or sweetheart table with the right number of seats facing the room — common patterns one click away.
Dietary by table
Each guest carries dietary, meal, and allergy fields. Excel export groups by table so the chef knows exactly what plates go where.
Print-ready A3 PDFs
Banquet-captain-ready exports with bold table numbers, guest names, and dietary indicators where they matter.
