Your seating plan,
finally sorted.

One plan of up to 30 guests, with the whole editor behind it: every table shape, the live issue checks, the import wizard and every printable layout. All it takes is a free account: no card, no time limit. The one visible difference is that what you print and export carries a small “Made with mapmyseats.com” line at the foot of the page.

It depends whose event it is. Personal is for planning your own: 3 plans, unlimited guests, and no credit line on your printouts. Professional is for planning other people’s for a living: no limit on plans, plus folders, a client on every plan, bulk actions for running several at once, and your own name and logo on everything guests and venues see. Both are listed with current prices in the pricing table, and you can pay in pounds or dollars.

One event, one plan: your room, your guest list and your seating. The free package covers one; Personal covers three, which is the main sitting, the evening layout and one to experiment with. Professional has no limit. Deleting a plan you have finished with frees the slot again; archiving one just tidies it out of your list, and it still counts.

They are somewhere to put a plan. Make a folder per client, per venue or per season, give it a colour, and the dashboard filters to it in one click - and the folder you are looking at is a URL, so you can bookmark it or send it to an assistant. Filing a plan changes nothing inside it, and deleting a folder never deletes a plan: the plans in it simply come back out into the main list.

On free accounts only, and only on things that leave the app: the A4 print layouts, the PNG and SVG images of the plan, and the browser printouts. It is one line of small grey type in the page footer beside the page number - not a watermark across the seating chart. Both paid packages remove it, and the guest list CSV, the catering CSV and the JSON backup never carry it on any package, because those are data files.

No. It runs in the browser: Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge, on a laptop or a tablet. Everything saves as you go.

Copy and paste the cells straight in, or drop a CSV file. The import wizard detects the columns, splits “Lastname, Firstname”, tidies RSVP wording and skips duplicates. You can remap anything it guesses wrong.

Eight layouts: the floor plan, table number cards, place cards eight to an A4 sheet, an alphabetical “find your table” board for the entrance, a QR sign for the door and the same code cut down to eight table cards, the full guest list, and a catering sheet with meal totals and dietary requirements. “Print → Save as PDF” gives you files to send to a printer.

Yes, and it can go further than looking. A view link gives anyone with the address a read-only page where they search for a name and see the table. An edit link opens the full editor for them with no account and no sign-in, which is what you want for a venue or a coordinator, though they still cannot delete the plan, duplicate it or pass it on. Switch either link off, or replace it, whenever you like: the old address stops working immediately.

Yes. You each see who else has the plan open. Nothing is silently overwritten: if you both save, the app tells you who saved first and lets you keep yours or take theirs, and the version you did not keep is saved in the history either way.

Nothing is deleted and no plan is chosen for destruction. Access runs to the end of the period you have paid for. After that, if you hold more plans than the free package covers, the most recently edited stay editable and the rest turn read-only - still openable, printable and exportable. Renewing restores the lot.

As much or as little as you choose. Set the link to “names and tables only” and the page is sent nothing but names and table names. The room, the meal choices, the dietary requirements and everyone’s contact details never reach it. The QR code is drawn in your own browser rather than by an outside service, so the link is not handed to anyone on the way to the printer.
