Seating plan software that turns a guest list into a room full of good conversation.

Send guests a link, and a seating plan comes together inside a to-scale model of your actual venue. Move tables, drag guests between seats, then print exactly what you'll set up on the day.

This isn't a demo video. It's the real planner.

No sign-up, nothing faked. Drag a guest to another seat, move or rotate a table, or click one to see why each guest was seated there. Everything on this page works.

A seating plan is a social puzzle a spreadsheet can't solve.

Manual planning is tedious, and the best draft breaks the moment reality hits. A guest drops out the week before. Someone brings a plus-one nobody counted. Two days out, the venue pulls a table for a fire exit, and your room just got smaller.

That last one is where a spreadsheet gives up. The question stops being who sits together, and becomes whether the tables even fit.

UbiFrui keeps your guests, your constraints, and your table layout in one place, updated as things change. When something shifts, you don't rebuild the plan. You move what needs moving.

Three steps get you there.

1

Guests register themselves

You send a link. Each guest spends two minutes on their interests, dietary needs, and an icebreaker. No chasing, no data entry.

2

The system suggests a plan

The planner keeps families together, separates guests who shouldn't meet, balances the quiet and the outgoing, and accounts for dietary needs, then lays out a first draft.

3

You edit and finalise

Position and rotate tables to match your real venue. Drag any guest to change the plan, and a dashed ring flags anyone who lands near a conflict. When you're ready, print place cards, a to-scale floor plan, and a catering list for the kitchen.

Why not just use ChatGPT?

Running an event needs different software from suggesting a seating plan. A chatbot can propose who sits where from a pasted list. Then it stops.

  • It doesn't know your room. A chatbot can't tell you whether your tables fit the space. UbiFrui works in real, to-scale dimensions, so you know it fits before you arrive.
  • You can't move anything. A chatbot hands you a text list. Here you drag a guest to a new seat and watch the fit colours change as you do.
  • It can't handle a late change. When a guest cancels three days out, a chatbot wants a whole new prompt. Here you fix the one seat and leave the rest.
  • Nothing to hand over. It won't export a catering list for the kitchen or a scale floor plan to tape up for the setup crew.

I've been to enough dinners where I've been sat next to someone I just couldn't connect with. I imagine they felt the same about me.

When I got married, my wife and I spent weeks on the seating plan. Fighting spreadsheets and second guessing who would get on with who. We got it right in the end and everyone got on famously.

So I built a tool that does in minutes what took us weeks.

That tool is what you are looking at.

Before you start.

How much does UbiFrui Seating cost?

Plans start at £9 for events up to 30 guests, with tiers up to 500 guests. There's no subscription for one-off events. A free plan covers events up to 15 guests. Planners running multiple events can subscribe to Pro instead, for £299 a year.

Can I move guests myself, or does the software decide?

You decide. Every suggestion is a starting point you can override. Drag guests between seats, move and rotate tables, lock the ones you're happy with, or rebuild a table from scratch whenever you like.

Do my guests need to download an app?

No. Guests fill in a short form from a link you send them, with no account and no app. On the day, seating is found from a printed table plan or place cards, not a phone.

Do all my guests have to register themselves?

No. Sending a link is the fastest option for guests happy to fill in a form, but you can add anyone directly yourself, one at a time or via a CSV import, which is useful for guests who'd rather not deal with a form at all. You can edit any guest's details afterwards either way.

Can I edit the seating plan after guests RSVP?

Yes. The plan stays live and editable the whole time. Add a late RSVP, move a guest, or rebuild a table, and the plan updates right away. Nothing is final until you print it.

Can I lay tables out to match my actual room?

Yes. Every event starts with a room that resizes itself automatically as you add tables, so there's nothing to configure up front. Once you know your venue, lock the room to its real dimensions and position and rotate each table to match. The floor plan prints to scale, with guest names shown at their actual seats.

Will I know if two guests end up seated too close to each other, even at different tables?

Yes. If someone you've flagged as a conflict is seated at a table near theirs, their seat gets a dashed ring in the room layout so you can move them before you print.

What kinds of events is this for?

Weddings, dinner parties, corporate events, and anything else where who sits next to whom actually matters.

Is my guests' information private?

Yes. Only you, as the host, can see it, and the system deletes it automatically after your event's retention period. See our privacy policy for details.
