What WeddingWire offers
WeddingWire’s seating chart page describes a free tool — “Yes, the WeddingWire Seating Chart tool is totally free!” — that integrates with its guest list. You build a custom floor plan with tables, a dance floor, a DJ booth “and anything else”, sync your guest list, and drag and drop guests into their seats. There is a chart view and a list view, you can manage seating for all your wedding events rather than only the reception, and you can print, email or export the chart in a visual or list format. The page says you can import guests from your list or add them individually.
WeddingWire is part of a wider set of free planning tools, including a wedding website, checklist, budget, guest list and vendor manager, plus a vendor marketplace.
Try SeatFinch’s auto-seat free, with no guest limit.
Start planning freeAbout SeatFinch
SeatFinch is a seating chart maker built around one idea: you write the rules, it does the first draft. You import a guest list (CSV with name, household, meal and tags), add round or rectangular tables and venue objects (dance floor, bar, stage, DJ, cake), and write rules — “must sit together”, “must not sit together” and “keep households together”. Auto-seat then fills every table while keeping every rule, and tells you which rules conflict if they can’t all be kept. You fine-tune by dragging guests; manual moves respect table capacity, and rules are re-checked whenever you run Auto-seat.
Creating an event with unlimited guests, tables and rules, the floor plan and auto-seating are free for one saved chart, with a watermarked PNG export. A one-time unlock of $19 per event (launch price $14 until Feb 3, 2027) removes the watermark and adds the exports: a seating chart PDF (US Letter) or PNG in three print styles, an escort list (PDF and CSV), a floor plan image and a by-table CSV with meals. SeatFinch does not collect RSVPs, build wedding websites or sell stationery.
Which to choose
WeddingWire may suit you better if you already keep your guest list and RSVPs on WeddingWire, want a free tool with no paid tier, or want to email the chart directly from the platform.
SeatFinch may suit you better if you want a first draft generated from rules — who must sit together, who must not, households together — instead of placing every guest by hand, or if your guest list lives in a spreadsheet.
