Seating chart
Drag guests onto tables, keep the right people apart (kindly), and hand your venue a plan that's never out of date, all from the guest list you already have.
Free for up to 50 guests, with every Pro tool for your first 7 days. No card needed.
A wedding seating plan starts out as a fun puzzle and ends with you moving the same cousin four times at 11pm. WedBuild's seating chart maker keeps the puzzle and removes the pain: your guest list and RSVPs already live in the same place, so you're seating real, confirmed guests, not maintaining a second spreadsheet that's out of date by Tuesday.
Start with the simple drag-and-drop table plan if you just need everyone allocated, or open the visual room designer and lay out the actual space: round tables, long tables, the head table, the lot.
One guest list, start to finish
A guest replies through your online RSVPs. Their answer, dietary included, updates your wedding guest list. Your chart seats everyone who said yes, the table cards print with a dietary legend for the caterer, and on the night your guests scan a QR code and find their seat. See all the wedding planning tools for how the rest connects.
What you can do
Start simple with drag and drop, or lay out the whole room. Every Pro tool is free for your first 7 days, so you can try all of it before you choose.

This is the real WedBuild seating chart, not a mock-up: the same tables, seats, guest panel and dialogs you'd use with your own guest list. Pick a starter layout, paste in a few names and drag people onto chairs.
Nothing here is saved, so plan as much as you like. When you're ready to keep a chart and seat the guests who've actually RSVP'd, the seating tools are included in the Pro trial. Every new account starts with 7 days of Pro, completely free. No credit card required.
The planner opens full screen on your phone, with tables and guests laid out for touch. No account, and nothing is saved.

On a big screen too: the visual room designer on a laptop.
Lay out your room with round and rectangle tables, set each table's seat count, and drag guests (or whole parties in one click) onto seats. Prefer a simple wedding seating plan without the floor plan? List mode does the same job with less ceremony, and you can move to the visual designer later without starting over.
The chart works from the same guest list your RSVPs land in, so there's no re-typing names and no stale copies. As acceptances and regrets roll in, the seating dashboard shows how many confirmed guests are seated, and exactly who still needs a chair.
See how RSVPs work
Group guests into parties so couples and families move together, and see dietary requirements right where you're seating. Save multiple versions of the chart, so 'the diplomatic option' and 'the fun option' can coexist peacefully until you have to commit.
A table card ready for the caterer, and the QR sign for the door.
Print table cards with a dietary legend for your caterer, and give guests QR 'Find My Seat': they scan, search their name, and see their table and the room layout. Late change? Update the chart and everyone sees the latest version. No reprinting the run sheet at midnight.
Find My Seat
Guests scan a QR code at the door, and their own phone shows them the way.
Scan the QR code and start typing a name.
Table and seat, the moment their name appears.
Tap any table to see who's sitting there.
“Guests scanned a QR code and found their seat. No chaos. Genius.”

“Visual seating chart was a lifesaver. Printed the dietaries straight for the caterer. 10/10.”
How it works
Import guests from a spreadsheet or add them as RSVPs arrive. The seating tools read straight from the list, parties and dietaries included.
Lay out the room (or keep it simple in list mode), set seat counts, and place people. Whole parties move together in one click.
Print table cards with dietary legends, and share the QR Find My Seat link so your guests, venue and coordinator always see the current version.

Yes. The planner on this page is the real WedBuild seating chart running without an account: choose a starter layout, add your own guests and seat them, on desktop or on your phone. It's free and unlimited. The only thing it can't do is remember your chart once you close the tab.
No. The planner on this page keeps nothing, and it says so. Saving a chart, exporting or printing it and seating your real RSVPs are part of WedBuild's seating tools, which are included in the Pro trial. Every new account starts with 7 days of Pro, completely free. No credit card required. After the trial, seating lives on the Standard and Pro plans.
Seating is part of WedBuild's paid plans rather than the free Essentials plan: Standard (A$99 one-time, unlimited guests) includes the drag-and-drop seating chart with multiple saved versions, and Pro (A$199 one-time) adds the visual room designer, printable table cards and QR Find My Seat. You can start free with your guest list and RSVPs, then upgrade when you're ready to seat, and there's a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Yes. The seating chart works directly from your WedBuild guest list, which you can bulk-import from Excel or CSV. Anyone who RSVPs 'yes' is ready to seat, with their party, dietaries and notes attached. No re-typing names from a spreadsheet.
Your guest list updates the moment a response lands, and the seating dashboard shows how many confirmed guests are seated, so anyone who still needs a chair is easy to spot. Guests who scan the QR code always see the latest published version of the plan.
Yes. Print table cards with guest names and a dietary legend for your caterer, or share the live Find My Seat link and QR code so your venue and coordinator can check the current plan on the day. No printouts going stale in a back office.
