PlanSeats is the modern seating chart software that makes event planning simple. Drag-and-drop simplicity, real-time collaboration, and pricing that works for everyone, from intimate gatherings to 500+ guest events.
Free plan for your first event, no credit card.
WeddingWire (owned by the same parent company as The Knot) includes a seating chart as part of their wedding planning tools. Like The Knot, it's a bundled feature rather than a dedicated application, which means the seating functionality is competent but not comprehensive.
The key advantage of PlanSeats is flexibility. WeddingWire ties you to their ecosystem: their RSVP system, vendor directory, and wedding website. PlanSeats works independently, so you can use WeddingWire for vendor discovery while using PlanSeats for a more powerful seating experience. Export your WeddingWire guest list as CSV and import directly into PlanSeats.
PlanSeats Pro offers capabilities WeddingWire lacks: intelligent auto-assign based on guest groups and relationships, real-time collaboration so multiple planners can work simultaneously, and support for corporate events, galas, and non-wedding gatherings.
For sharing with vendors, PlanSeats generates universal links that work without any account signup. WeddingWire's sharing is more limited and works best when everyone is using their platform.
See why PlanSeats is the top WeddingWire alternative for seating charts.
Unlike WeddingWire, PlanSeats offers clear pricing with no hidden fees.
Add your tables, import your guests, and share the chart with your partner, planner or venue.
