Wedding table layout

A wedding table layout starts with how many tables and how many seats — then names. Set capacities (rounds of 8–10 are common), place guests, export for the coordinator. We will not place dance floors or pillars. Ask the venue for the scaled sketch; use this for who sits where.

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 are choosing rounds vs mixed sizes; you need a seat-count plan; the room holds a known table count.

When not to

You need AutoCAD of the ballroom → venue. Rectangle-long-table focus → rectangle layout page.

Assumptions

Default rounds; capacities editable. Layout here means table objects + assignments, not floor CAD.

Worked examples

Input: 12 rounds of 8 + sweetheart of 2.

Output: 98 seats if filled; label sweetheart.

Empty seats on purpose beat hostile crams.

Input: mix 8s and 10s for a weird room.

Output: capacities differ by table; pool clears.

Tell catering the mix — meals follow seats.

How it works

  1. Confirm table count with the venue.
  2. Set seats per table on the board.
  3. Assign guests.
  4. Export CSV / print.

Common traps

  • Layout boards on Pinterest are décor, not headcount math.
  • Fire code and dance-floor clearance are the venue's diagram.
  • Changing layout last week means regenerating seats and meals.
  • Kids' tables still count toward venue maximums.

FAQ

Ask the venue what fits. Then set those capacities here and seat people.
