One chart, three ways to use it

You decide how your seating chart reaches your celebration — classic print, digital, or both.

Plan

Recreate your venue visually, arrange tables and assign guests to individual seats — instead of juggling spreadsheets and sticky notes.

Print

Export the finished chart as a print-ready PDF or poster — for the board at the entrance, an easel or a beautiful frame.

Share digitally

Optionally via QR code or link: guests who prefer their phone can also find their seat by name search — handy for larger celebrations.

Your finished seating chart in three steps

No spreadsheets, no paper chaos — you plan directly in the room.

1

Design the room & assign guests

Drag round, rectangular and oval tables, the dance floor, stage, bar and buffet onto your plan. Assign guests via drag & drop — or let them be seated automatically.

2

Pick a style

From a watercolor garden to a Gatsby ballroom: pick an illustrated style that matches your celebration — your chart becomes part of the décor.

Print or share
3

Print or share

Export the finished chart as a PDF or poster for the entrance — and optionally share it as a QR code or link on top.

A planning tool that's actually fun

Everything you need for your seating arrangement — without a spreadsheet in sight.

Not a dry grid — an illustrated scene

Your chart looks lovingly hand-drawn: many styles are ready to pick, from playful watercolor to an elegant ballroom. What you design on screen is exactly what ends up on paper.

Changes until the very last minute

A cancellation, a surprise guest, two people who really shouldn't sit next to each other: simply move guests around and re-export the PDF — in a minute instead of an evening.

Optional: name search on the phone

If you like, share the chart via QR code as well: guests type their name and the chart zooms to their seat. A bonus for larger celebrations — it only replaces the printed board if you want it to.

The seating chart is just the beginning

Photogala comes with the full toolbox for your big day — every tool is included for free.

Guest list

Manage all guests in one place, sort them into groups and pull them straight into the seating chart.

Menu card

A digital menu with photos of your dishes — optionally print-ready as a PDF in several designs.

Day schedule

Share your timeline with every guest: ceremony, reception, dinner, party — everyone knows what happens when.

RSVP & responses

Guests confirm or decline online and answer your questions — menu choice, allergies, accommodation.

DJ wishlist

Your guests request songs right from their phones — the dance floor stays packed, guaranteed.

Info & custom pages

Directions, dress code, hotel tips: all answers on one page instead of twenty times in the group chat.

And once the party starts: never lose a single photo

The seating chart gets your guests to their tables — the Photogala gallery then collects every moment they capture.

All your guests' photos in one place

Your guests scan a QR code and upload photos and videos straight to your shared gallery — in full original quality instead of WhatsApp pixel mush.

Live slideshow on the big screen

The best shots appear in real time on a screen or projector — and your guests upload even more.

LIVE

Every photo of you — found instantly

AI face search groups every shot by person. Find every picture of you, grandma or the best man in seconds.

Your guest list stays private

Names and seating arrangements are personal data — Photogala is built GDPR-compliant from the ground up.

For your guests only

The seating chart is only reachable via your private QR code or link — never publicly discoverable.

EU GDPR compliant

Your data is stored encrypted on European servers. No sharing with third parties, no ads.

Full control

You decide what guests see — and can permanently delete everything at any time with one click.

Couples who planned with Photogala

We had the watercolor-style chart printed as a poster — the board at the entrance was a real eye-catcher, and the planning before was finally stress-free.

Anna & Markus

Wedding with 90 guests

Moving tables instead of copying spreadsheet rows. When two guests cancelled last minute, the new chart was exported in two minutes.

Julia & Daniel

Wedding with 60 guests

Frequently asked questions

Is the seating chart really free?
Yes. The seating chart and all other event tools — guest list, menu, schedule, RSVP and more — are included in every Photogala gallery, including the free one. You only pay if you want a larger photo gallery.
Can we print the seating chart?
Yes, that's one of its main purposes: the chart exports as a print-ready PDF or poster — in the same illustrated style you designed on screen. Just take it to a print shop or copy shop.
Is the export suitable for large formats?
Yes. The export is high-resolution and works from a handout all the way to a large board or poster at the entrance.
Do our guests need an app or a phone?
No. The printed chart works entirely without technology. The digital name search via QR code is an optional extra — anyone using it only needs their phone camera, no app and no account.
Does the chart support round tables, a dance floor and a buffet?
Yes. Round, rectangular and oval tables in any size, plus dance floor, stage, bar, buffet, photo booth and many more elements — your venue, as it really is.
Is there automatic seating?
Yes. You can seat guests automatically and set rules along the way — who should sit together and who really shouldn't. Then fine-tune anything you like via drag & drop.
What happens to our guest list?
It belongs to you. The data is stored encrypted on EU servers, only reachable via your private link, and can be permanently deleted at any time — EU GDPR compliant.
Does this work for birthdays or corporate events too?
Absolutely. The seating chart works for any celebration with assigned seating — birthdays, corporate events, galas. The illustrated styles cover far more than weddings.

Your seating arrangement is waiting

Plan your seating chart in minutes — free and without a subscription. Print it, hang it up, done. And if you like, the same gallery later collects every photo of your celebration.
