The seating chart where every guest finds their seat.

Plan your tables with drag & drop, change anything until the last minute — and on the big day your guests simply type their name and instantly see where they sit. No app, no printed board, completely free.

"Where am I sitting?" — the most-asked question at every wedding.

First the spreadsheet chaos while planning, then the expensive printed board — and when someone cancels two days before, you start all over. Meanwhile your guests queue at the entrance, hunting for their name in tiny print. There's an easier way.

Three steps to a seating chart that explains itself

Planned in minutes — your guests only need their phone camera.

1

Add tables, assign guests

Drag round and rectangular tables, the dance floor and the buffet right onto your floor plan. Assign guests with drag & drop — or let auto-seating place them for you.

2

Share a QR code or link

Print the QR code on place cards or a sign at the entrance — matching your wedding design. One scan is all it takes, no app required.

3

Guests find their seat

Type a name, done: the plan zooms straight to the right seat. No queue at the entrance, no squinting at tiny print.

More than a pretty picture on the wall

Your seating chart is interactive: it helps you plan, forgives changes, and delights your guests.

Find your seat instead of searching for it

Your guests open the plan on their phone, tap "Find my seat" and type their name — the chart instantly zooms to their seat and highlights it. Even grandma manages without help.

Last-minute changes? No problem.

A cancellation the night before, a surprise guest, two people who shouldn't sit together: just drag guests around — the plan updates for everyone instantly. Nothing needs reprinting.

Graphics your guests will love

Your plan isn't a dry grid but a lovingly illustrated scene — from a watercolor garden to a Gatsby ballroom, many styles are ready to pick. Export it print-ready as a PDF or poster whenever you like.

The seating chart is just the beginning

Photogala comes with the whole toolkit for your big day — every tool is included for free.

Menu card

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

Day schedule

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

RSVP & replies

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

Guest list

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

DJ song requests

Your guests request songs right from their phone — the dance floor is guaranteed to stay full.

Info & custom pages

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

And once the party starts: don't lose a single photo

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

Every guest photo in one place

Your guests scan the same QR code and upload photos and videos straight into your shared gallery — in full original quality instead of compressed group-chat mush.

Live slideshow on the big screen

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

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

Frequently asked questions about the seating chart

Is the seating chart really free?
Yes. The seating chart and all other event tools — menu card, schedule, RSVP, guest list and more — are included in every Photogala gallery, the free one included. You only pay if you want a bigger photo gallery.
Do our guests need to install an app?
No. The seating chart opens right in the browser: scan the QR code with the phone camera, type your name, see your seat — no download, no account.
How do guests find their seat?
Through the name search: they tap "Find my seat", enter their name, and the plan zooms straight to their highlighted seat — with table name and seat number.
Can we still change the plan after sharing it?
Anytime. Move guests or whole tables with drag & drop and the change is instantly visible to everyone — even on the morning of the wedding.
Does the plan 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, exactly as it is.
Can we print the seating chart too?
Yes. The plan exports print-ready as a PDF or poster — in the same illustrated style as on the phone. Many couples still just place a QR code sign at the entrance.
What happens to our guest list?
It's yours. 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 also work for birthdays or corporate events?
Absolutely. The seating chart works for any celebration with assigned seats — birthdays, corporate events, galas. The illustrated styles cover far more than weddings.

Never again "Where am I sitting?"

Create your seating chart in minutes — free, no subscription, no risk. And when the party starts, the same gallery collects every photo.
