Opening your plan…

Seat your wedding, start to finish

Everything in this part is free. Your plan saves in this browser as you go.

  1. 01

    Bring your guest list

    If your wedding website or spreadsheet can save a CSV file, choose it. Or paste the names in. Party, meal and notes come along when your list has them.

  2. 02

    Seat families together

    Give a family the same party name. Drop one of them on a table and Seatwell offers to seat the rest of the party there too.

  3. 03

    Plan around the tricky ones

    Mark two guests to keep apart, and you'll see a warning if they end up at one table. Meal counts for each table update as you move people.

  4. 04

    Add the rehearsal dinner

    Set up your head table, sweetheart table and the rest. Then add a second layout for the rehearsal dinner, with the same guest list.

Wedding pass

Let guests find their own table

With the Wedding pass, guests scan a QR sign at the entrance or open a link, type their name and see where they sit. Move Uncle Dave the night before, and his new table shows as soon as your change is saved online.

  • Guests see only the names that match what they type. The page never lists every guest.
  • A search needs at least 3 letters and shows up to 5 matches.
  • When the plan changes, the QR sign doesn't. There's nothing to reprint.
  • The page is hidden from search engines and closes 60 days after your wedding.

Meal counts for your caterer, without the spreadsheet

The Wedding pass turns your seating plan into a caterer report and a guest list file. Send them to your caterer and venue in the final week.

  • Caterer report, as a PDF. Each table's guest count, its meal counts and any dietary notes.
  • Caterer list, as a CSV. Every guest with their table, party, meal and notes. It opens in Excel or Google Sheets, so your venue can sort it however they like.
  • Made from the layout on screen. After a change, download them again and the counts are up to date.

Wedding seating questions

Can I seat families together?
Yes. Give guests the same party name, like "Patel family", when you add or edit them. When you drop one of them on a table, Seatwell offers to seat the rest of the party there too.
Can I keep two guests apart?
Yes. Mark two guests to keep apart, and Seatwell warns you whenever they end up at the same table. It never moves anyone for you.
Does it have a head table and a sweetheart table?
Yes. Add round tables with up to 40 seats each, rectangle tables, long banquet tables, a head table and a sweetheart table. Name or number each one, then drag it where you want it on the plan.
Can I plan the rehearsal dinner too?
Yes. One plan holds up to 10 layouts with the same guest list, such as the rehearsal dinner and the reception. One Wedding pass covers every layout in your event, and you choose which one guests see when they look up their table.
How do guests find their table on the day?
With the Wedding pass, put the QR sign by the door or send the link in a message. Guests type at least 3 letters of their name and see their table. The page never shows the whole guest list.
How much is the Wedding pass?
$15 + tax where it applies, paid once for your wedding. There's no subscription, and you can get a full refund within 14 days. Making and printing your seating chart stays free.
