Layouts for every event that is not a wedding

Each one is a working floor plan with real table sizes, not a picture. Open it and it becomes your event.

How it works

From a layout to your event

Pick by format, then fit it to your room.

Seated with speeches needs a stage and sightlines; a standing party needs high-tops and space; a family event needs a kids table near the fun. Open the layout that already does that.

Which layout fits which kind of event

The event’s name matters less than how the evening runs.

A stage and speeches

Galas, awards and fundraisers need every table facing the front. The gala and fundraiser layouts are built around the stage, and the gala page adds a long-table version.

A company or association dinner

Rectangular tables facing a presentation table for a company dinner, or a head table and long tables for a formal banquet.

A family celebration

The mitzvah layout puts a long kids table by the dance floor and rounds for the adults, the shape most family parties take.

Bar mitzvah seating

A party people move through

The cocktail party layout spreads eight high-tops through the room, for a reception where most guests stand.

A smaller daytime gathering

The shower and birthday layouts suit twenty to sixty guests with a gift or cake table in view.

A dinner the night before

The rehearsal dinner layout seats two families at long tables in a private room.

Where to start

How to choose an event seating layout

Start with what happens in the room. If people will watch something, a speech, an auction or a performance, choose a layout that faces the front. If they will mingle, choose one with fewer seats and more space.

Then check the count. A layout is a starting point, so the closest one is good enough: adding or removing a table takes a moment once it is open.

Last, look at the room you have. If the venue sent a floor plan, upload it behind the layout and move the tables onto it before anyone is seated.

An event layout you can work in vs. one you can only look at

A downloaded event layout is a drawing. Every time the headcount moves, someone redraws it, and the seating is kept in a separate list.

A PlanSeats layout holds the room and the seating together, so a new table or a late guest is one change, and the venue sees it through the same link.
