SeatChartBaseFree seating chart maker
Free in this title means you can build and export a seating chart without creating an account or starting a seven-day trial. Place guests on tables, download or print, done. If a result above this page asked for a credit card for premium tables, you are in the wrong tab — stay here. Features still matter: unassigned pool, export, editable table sizes. Free is not an excuse for a broken grid.
Your place board
Reception seating plan
Tables
Select a table, then click a name in the pool
Seating tools help you arrange guests — not a venue floor-plan CAD service or a wedding planner contract.
When to use — and when not to
When to use
You filtered search results for free tools; you are done with freemium walls; you need a chart this week on a normal laptop.
When not to
You need collaborative cloud editing for six planners across companies — use whatever your venue mandates. You need a printed acrylic sign product — buy the sign elsewhere; make the data here.
Assumptions
Core assign/export is free. Site may show ordinary display ads later; that is not a paywall on export. No unlock table 12 nonsense in the product story.
Worked examples
Input: 40-person micro-wedding, 5 tables of 8.
Output: full chart CSV in one sitting.
Small weddings still hit family politics — free does not mean trivial.
Input: 150-person list pasted from Sheets.
Output: tables created, 4 unassigned left for maybe-RSVPs.
Export nightly when the list is this large.
How it works
- Same maker flow. Bias the UI copy toward export without account.
- If you arrived from a free template hunt, import names first, then seat.
Common traps
- Free template ≠ free maker. A PDF circle pack is not an assignable chart.
- Watermark surprise — if another site watermarks exports, leave; our story is a clean export from this product.
- School seating makers pollute this query — ignore classroom results.
- Free and private — still avoid pasting passwords into random tools; guest names are sensitive enough.
