What is a Seating Chart Template?

A seating chart template is a ready-made visual tool that helps you plan and organize where people will sit at an event, in a classroom, or within a workspace. It gives you a structured starting point to place seats, tables, or sections, assign guests or attendees, and adjust arrangements quickly, so you can plan with clarity instead of starting from a blank canvas.

How to Create a Seating Chart with Creately?

Open a seating chart template:
Start by choosing an editable seating arrangement template in Creately. This gives you a ready-made layout to visualize tables, seats, and the overall arrangement from the start.
Customize the layout:
Add or adjust tables and seats using drag-and-drop shapes. Use text labels, numbers, or letters to define tables, and apply color-coding to group tables or guest sections for better clarity.
Add guest details and notes:
Create a list of RSVPs and assign guests to tables directly on the canvas. Use the notes panel or sticky notes to capture details such as guest groups, preferences, or special considerations while planning.
Collaborate in real time:
Invite your event planner, partner, or team members to collaborate on the seating chart builder. Comment on specific tables, tag stakeholders, and make updates together on the same canvas.
Review, update, and share:
Review the seating chart against the venue’s floor plan, make final adjustments, and share or present it with stakeholders. Export or share a link to keep everyone aligned as your event plans come together.
