Free Online Seating Chart Maker Walkthrough (Video)
This nearly six-minute walkthrough covers the free online seating chart maker from start to finish. You'll see a room take shape, tables added and arranged, a guest list brought in, and each guest dragged onto a seat. The presenter also touches on meal choices, notes and sharing, so by the end you understand every major part of the tool this page is dedicated to.
What this video covers
- Setting up a venue layout and adding tables of different shapes
- Importing a guest list and seating people with drag and drop
- Finishing touches: meal details, sharing the plan and exporting it
One maker, two charts: floor plan and A-to-Z
Everything shown in the walkthrough is exactly what an alphabetical seating chart needs as its foundation. The maker keeps guests, tables and seats in a single project, so once your plan matches the room, switching to a by-last-name display takes no extra work — the list is generated from seats you have already assigned. Rearrange a table and the A-to-Z chart follows along, which is impossible with a hand-typed sign.
Because the maker runs in the browser and costs nothing, you can repeat the video's steps with your real wedding tonight. Import names from Excel or CSV, record meal choices and allergies as you seat people, and share the project with whoever is helping you plan. When the room is final, print or export both views — the table map for staff and the alphabetical chart for guests. The alphabetical seating chart maker page explains the rest.
