Everyone has a seat.
Everyone has someone to talk to.
List who is coming and the handful of things you would never say out loud. We seat them all automatically, and you can change your mind as often as you like.
Re-seat everyone in one click when guests drop out the week before.
Free to build your guest list. One event from $10 when you want the chart, never a subscription.
Every other tool helps you draw the room.
We work out who can’t sit together, by asking your guests rather than you.
Most planners record decisions you already made. SeatingSorted asks the right questions, keeps the answers private, and turns them into a workable room.
A hundred and twenty guests is about forty rules like these. The two
that matter most are the ones nobody will say to your face.
We ask your guests privately, and you never see the answers.
You know the room. You know the people. You just can’t hold all of it at once.
From an empty room to a finished chart
Four steps, and most people get through the whole thing in an afternoon, including the arguing.
-
First
Draw your room
Drag on round tables, long tables, the dance floor, the bar. It snaps to a grid, so what you end up with actually looks like your venue, not a diagram of one.
-
Then
Send one link
Guests confirm, add their plus-one and their children, and quietly tell you who they’d love to sit near. No account, no app. Their answers land in your plan as rules, so you never retype anything.
-
Then
Let SeatingSorted seat everyone
Couples stay together. Feuding relatives stay apart. Children sit beside a grown-up. Everyone else lands next to someone they’ll actually get on with. and every seat comes with a reason you can read.
-
And then
Print it and be done
Nudge anyone by hand, lock the tables you’re sure about, re-run as many times as you like. Then print the chart for the door and the table lists for the venue.
Your guests tell us who they’d rather avoid. They’ll never tell you.
The most useful seating information is the stuff nobody will say to the couple’s face. So we ask for it on your behalf and keep it that way: the two questions about who a guest wants to sit near, and who they’d rather not, are never shown to you. They go straight into the seating and nowhere else.
If the plan can’t honour one, you’re told a table has a conflict, not who asked or about whom. You get a better chart and nobody has an awkward conversation.
Anyone you’d rather not sit with?
Pick up to three. Harper & Wren will never see this.
Doing this once, or every weekend
You’ve never done this before, and it shows nowhere
- We ask the right questions up front, so you’re not guessing what matters
- Drag names onto chairs. No spreadsheets, no formulas, nothing to learn
- One click gives you a complete chart; change only what you disagree with
- Every seat comes with a reason, so you can answer “why am I here?” on the night
Fast enough to use on every event you run
- Pin, lock and flag VIP seats: your decisions are worked around, never overwritten
- Break a rule by hand and you’re told immediately, before it reaches the printer
- CSV import and export, plus full undo history on every edit
- Named guest groups, your own RSVP questions, and a link guests use without an account
Every name in the right chair, and the afternoon back.
