Thousands of planners talk about us
Wedding planner
“I planned a 230-person wedding and changed the chart three times in one week. Seat Maker stayed clean and fast the whole time. My venue coordinator said it was the easiest seating file she got all season.”
Bride
“We used oval and round tables in the same ballroom and every layout stayed readable. The app made family grouping simple and clear. Setup day felt calm instead of frantic.”
Event producer
“Most apps force a desktop workflow that slows me down. Seat Maker is fast on iPhone and iPad and still feels precise. I can fix table assignments while walking the venue floor.”
Gala coordinator
“Shuffle plus VIP lock is the reason we switched. We test options without touching parent and sponsor seats. That one flow saves us a lot of back and forth.”
Banquet manager
“I imported a CSV, cleaned a few names, and started placing people right away. No clutter and no extra setup. It is very direct and practical.”

A little bit of our story
Seat Maker started from real event stress—the kind where spreadsheets break, sticky notes pile up, and someone asks "did we move Aunt Carol?" five minutes before doors open. We built a calmer seating chart app so you can plan wedding tables, party layouts, and school charts on iPhone and iPad without the chaos.
01
Born from a messy table plan
The first version came from a familiar moment: guests had RSVP'd, the venue sent a room map, and the seating plan still lived in four different places. We wanted one mobile tool that felt fast enough to fix at the venue—drag guests into seats, lock the VIPs, shuffle the rest, and text a clear image to family or staff.
02
Built for every kind of room
Planners now use Seat Maker for wedding receptions, banquets, galas, classrooms, and corporate dinners. Round and rectangle tables, guest import from Contacts or CSV, offline mode when Wi-Fi disappears—all in a focused seating chart app, not a bloated event platform.
03
Planner feedback shaped everything
Real reviews kept us honest. Event hosts wanted less late-night spreadsheet panic. Wedding planners wanted quick exports. Teachers wanted clean classroom charts. We kept tightening drag-and-drop speed, shuffle with locked seats, and sharing that still works when the plan changes again at the last minute.
04
Still growing with you
Seat Maker is built by Austin Frankel and shaped by couples, hosts, and venue teams who live in last-minute edits. If seating is the stressful part of your event, we're here to make that part feel simple, visual, and shareable.
