Seating only, month to month
We don't do 3D venue design, BEOs or invoicing. If you need a fast seating chart for each client without a 12-month commitment, that's what this is.

Planner questions, answered
Is SeatPlanning a Social Tables alternative?
For seating, yes. SeatPlanning is a standalone 2D seating chart tool: guest list, RSVPs, seating and PDF export, billed monthly. It does not do photorealistic 3D venue design, banquet event orders or invoicing, so it fits planners who need the seating plan rather than the whole venue-sales suite.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Subscriptions are monthly and can be cancelled any time, and a one-time Event Pass is available for a single event. Cvent Event Diagramming, which includes Social Tables, asks for a 12-month commitment on paid plans, according to their public pricing pages.
Can my clients see the chart without an account?
Yes. Share a view-only link and the client can open the layout on a phone, including a 3D view they can orbit around. They cannot edit it, so you keep control of the plan. Only one person edits a chart at a time.
Can I use each client's guest list?
Yes. Import the spreadsheet they send, as CSV or Excel, and the names appear ready to seat. RSVP collection is built in, so confirmations land in the same list.
What does the free plan include?
One chart with up to 40 seats and 5 tables, with a watermarked PDF. That is enough to build a client's chart and see how it works before you pay. Plans with more charts and seats are on the pricing page.
