SeatChartBaseWedding ceremony seating chart
A wedding ceremony seating chart is about rows and sides, not dinner tables. Reserved family rows, partner sides, aisle needs — then you still build a separate reception chart for the meal. This page uses the same assignment board with ceremony-shaped copy. It will not draw pew CAD or sightlines past a column.

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 need reserved seating for parents/grandparents; sides matter; the officiant or venue asked for a ceremony plan.
When not to
You only need reception dinner tables → wedding seating chart. Classroom assembly seating → wrong site.
Assumptions
Treat tables as rows/sections with labels you type (Row A, Partner B family). Not a scaled sanctuary diagram.
Worked examples
Input: 2 reserved front rows × 8; remaining guests open seating.
Output: named reserved list; open area noted in export.
Ushers need the reserved names more than a full alphabetical dump.
Input: wheelchair aisle seats for two guests.
Output: notes on those rows; export flagged.
Confirm with the venue — we do not enforce ADA layouts.
How it works
- List ceremony attendees who need a reserved seat.
- Create labeled rows or sections (not dinner tables).
- Assign reserved guests; leave open seating unlabeled if your venue allows.
- Export for ushers; separately build the reception chart.
Common traps
- Ceremony chart ≠ reception chart. Do not reuse table numbers blindly.
- Late arrivals and standing room are venue rules, not our defaults.
- Step-families: decide reserved rows privately before ushers improvise.
- Kids at ceremony may not equal kids at dinner — track both lists.

FAQ
Usually no. Ceremony is rows/sides; reception is dinner tables. Plan both.
