Classic Rounds

Seats about 100 guests

10 round tables of 9 around a central dance floor, plus a head table.

The most common wedding reception layout: a head table for the wedding party facing the room, round guest tables circling the dance floor, and a bar out of the traffic flow. Works in almost any rectangular ballroom or marquee.

Intimate Celebration

Seats about 50 guests

A sweetheart table plus 6 round tables of 8 — cozy without feeling cramped.

For smaller weddings where every table has a clear view of the couple. The sweetheart table keeps the focus on you two; six rounds of eight keep conversation groups small enough that nobody is stuck shouting across a giant table.

Long Table Banquet

Seats about 80 guests

Family-style long tables in rows, headed by a 10-seat top table.

The banquet-hall classic, popular for rustic barns and family-style dining. Guests sit facing each other along shared long tables — great for conversation and for serving platters down the middle. The top table seats the wedding party facing the room.

Grand Ballroom

Seats about 150 guests

14 round tables of 10 with a stage, central dance floor, and head table.

A full-scale ballroom plan for large weddings: a stage for the band or speeches, a head table beneath it, and guest rounds split into two wings so the dance floor stays the centre of the room and no table is boxed in.

Modern Sweetheart

Seats about 75 guests

8 rounds of 9 ringing the dance floor, with a sweetheart table for two.

A contemporary plan that puts the dance floor at the heart of the room and the couple at their own table. Eight rounds of nine keep the room symmetrical, with a photo booth and bar anchoring the corners.

Rounds + Family Tables

Seats about 120 guests

Two long family tables flanked by 8 rounds of 10 and a head table.

A mixed plan: immediate family shares two long tables near the couple, while friends and extended family sit at surrounding rounds. Ideal when you want family close without a single enormous top table.

From template to finished chart

A template gives you the room; you add the people.

1. Open a template

Pick the layout closest to your venue and guest count. It opens instantly in the designer — no account needed.

2. Add your guests

Import your guest list from a spreadsheet, then drag guests onto seats. Move tables until the room feels right.

3. Export & share

Export a print-ready PDF for your venue, or share a live link with your planner and partner.

How to choose a seating chart layout

Round tables are the safest default: everyone faces inward, conversation flows, and banquet venues stock them in standard sizes (a 60-inch round seats 8, a 72-inch round seats 10). Use them when your guest list has lots of distinct friend groups.

Long tables feel communal and photograph beautifully, especially in barns and gardens. They seat more people per square foot but make cross-table conversation harder — seat close-knit groups along the same stretch.

Head table or sweetheart table? A head table seats the wedding party facing the room; a sweetheart table is just the two of you. Pick the sweetheart option if your wedding party has partners you would otherwise split up.

Whichever template you start from, check our guides on seating 100 guests, wedding floor plans and seating etiquette before you finalize.

Template questions, answered

Are these wedding seating chart templates really free?

Yes. Every template opens in the full drag-and-drop designer with no signup and no download. You can rearrange tables, add guests, and adjust the layout for free — you only pay if you want a watermark-free PDF export or collaboration features.

Can I edit a template to match my guest count and venue?

Completely. A template is just a starting layout: add or delete tables, change seat counts per table, resize the dance floor, and drag everything to match your room. Nothing is locked.

How do I add my guest list to a seating chart template?

Open the template in the designer, then paste or import your guest list (CSV works). Drag each guest onto a seat — or use seating mode to assign guests table by table.

Which seating chart template should I use for 100 guests?

The Classic Rounds layout — ten round tables of nine plus a head table — is the most common plan for about 100 guests. If you prefer family-style dining, the Long Table Banquet layout seats a similar count on shared long tables.

Can I print the seating chart or share it with my venue?

Yes. When your plan is ready you can export a print-ready PDF to send to your venue or display at the reception, or share a live link so your planner sees changes in real time.

Do the templates work for events other than weddings?

Yes — the layouts are standard banquet arrangements, so they work for galas, corporate dinners, fundraisers, and parties too. Rename the tables and adjust the layout to fit your event.

Prefer to start from scratch?

The full wedding seating chart maker starts with a blank canvas, and AI floor plan import can turn a photo of your venue's floor plan into an editable chart.
