Free seating chart maker

Draw your room to scale, drop in your guest list, and seat everyone by dragging their name to a chair. No account, no sign-up, no limit on guests.

From guest list to printed chart

Set up the room
Start from a ready-made layout of round or long tables, or draw the walls yourself in feet and inches. Doors, a stage and a dance floor go where they really are.
Add your guests
Paste the list straight from a spreadsheet, with families or groups, meal choices and dietary needs. Duplicate names are flagged, not quietly merged.
Seat them
Drag a guest, or a whole family or group, onto a table. Usherwise points out a family split across tables, a child seated away from their parents, or a wheelchair user without a step-free seat.

The seating chart
Your floor plan with every name at their seat, on Letter or the larger Tabloid paper.
Find your seat
An alphabetical list by last name for the entrance, so nobody hunts along the tables.
Place cards
Folded cards, four to a sheet, with the guest's name and table, in a script or a plain font.
Caterer sheet
Meal counts for each table, plus every allergy and dietary need by seat number.

There's no account to create. The chart is saved in this browser as you work, and nothing about your guests is sent to us.

Download a copy as a .usherwise file to keep it safe or move it to another computer, then open it again any time.

Is it really free?: Yes. Making, saving and printing a seating chart costs nothing, and there's no cap on how many guests you add.
Does it work for events other than weddings?: It works for any seated event: a gala dinner, an awards night, a conference lunch or a family celebration.
Can two people work on the same chart?: One person works on a chart at a time. To hand it over, download the .usherwise file and send it; they open it in their own browser.
Can I measure in feet and print on US Letter?: Yes. A chart started here is in feet and inches and prints on Letter. You can switch it to meters, or to A4 paper, whenever you like.
Will it work on my phone?: It opens on a phone, but drawing the room and seating a big guest list is far easier on a laptop or tablet.
