In order to easily design a wedding floorplan layout with seating chart, there are steps to take prior to getting started.
Establish Wedding Guest List
Before thinking about wedding venue design and layout, create the guest list first. Creating the wedding guest list is the first step in planning a wedding. Establishing the event guest list during the initial phase of planning is one of the most important aspects of creating a seamless, more efficient process.
Allseated’s state of the art guest list tool increases organization and operational efficiency. The guest list is an added value to clients, allowing users to do the following:
- Keep an accurate count and list of all invited guests in one place.
- List mailing information
- Group guests into categories (such as friends, family, colleagues) for even more organization.
- Keep notes
- Track RSVP’s
- Assign meal preferences for each guest, preventing the chance for error.
- Specify guests for multiple events such as wedding-related events (bridal showers, rehearsal dinners, and day-after wedding brunches).
- Arrange seating charts directly from the guest list.
- Generate reports
Wedding Floorplans and Seating Layouts
Did you know that one in every ten events in America is created in the Allseated platform? As such, most venues already have their event floorplan templates uploaded into the Allseated wedding floorplan maker platform. If someone else held an event at the same venue and used Allseated, the floorplan is stored and ready to be used by you! If you have any changes to the existing event floorplan, we can accommodate you.
If the floorplan wedding template isn’t already in Allseated, there are three main details we need from you to upload your floorplan:
- The name and address of venue
- Dimensions of the event space
- Perimeter walls of the event space
We require the name and address of the venue so we can keep track of it and thus give you access to it. We also search the address in our database before building your floorplan to ensure the venue is not already in Allseated.
We need the dimensions of the event space in order to get the event floorplan built to-scale. And, we need perimeter walls of the space because that shows us the parameters of the dimensions and allows us to scale the floorplan.
Let’s say you have the map of the event floorplan, You can upload your floorplan from within your Allseated account using the Floorplans Wizard. We take your event floorplans and then scale them, remove the tables and other movable objects, and convert them into a file type that can be viewed in 2D and 3D.
Once you upload the floorplan, the process of building your floorplan using the wedding floorplan maker takes 24-72 hours depending on which package you selected during the upload process. Just hang tight and we will email you again once it’s ready!
Having an Outdoor Event?
Outdoor events can have to-scale layouts too! Allseated can create outdoor floorplans to-scale. We can work with Google Maps screen shots or *overhead* photographs as long as they have at least one accurate dimension included. We can also work with hand drawn diagrams but please be aware that if the drawing itself isn’t to scale, we need the area dimensions in order to produce an accurate diagram! You can upload your outdoor floorplan using the Floorplan Wizard.
