✨ What it does
Ceremony chairs let you drop in a pre-built seating layout instead of placing chairs one by one. Once added, adjust rows, sections, spacing, and curvature — then assign guests directly to each seat.
🔗 How to add ceremony seating
Open your event's Floor Plan
In the right panel, go to the Library tab
Under Ceremony chairs, pick a layout
Click the + next to the layout to add it — or drag and drop the layout directly onto your floor plan
Available layouts:
Layout | Seats |
Straight with aisle | 120 |
Chevron with aisle | 120 |
Arched with aisle | 120 |
Amphitheater with aisle | 120 |
Straight rows | 60 |
Separate sections | 120 |
📌 Note: These are starting seat counts — adjust after adding the layout to your plan.
⚙️ Adjusting the layout
Select the seating block, then switch to the Design tab:
Basics
Label — rename the block (e.g. "Ceremony seating")
Position & Rotation — move or rotate on your floor plan, or drag the block directly to reposition it
Layout
Seats per row / Sections — control row width and grouping
Row step — adds extra seats to every row behind the first
Shape
Curvature — arches the rows into a curve
Angle — folds rows into a chevron (only applies when Curvature is 0)
Spacing (cm)
Seat gap, Row gap, Seat size
💡 Tip: Use Row step for a fanned or theater-style layout where back rows are wider.
📌 Note: When Curvature is set above 0, the Angle field becomes inactive and shows a warning: "Angle is not used while Curvature is above 0." Set Curvature back to 0 first if you want to use Angle instead.
📝 Assigning guests to seats
Scroll to Manage seats to filter and assign guests:
Include — choose which guests appear in seat dropdowns
Sort — order the list (e.g. Unassigned first)
Use the Seat / Guest table to assign guests via the dropdown, or drag and drop a guest's name onto a seat
Remove an assigned guest with the 🚫 icon
💡 Tip: Guests seated in ceremony chairs now show in your Document export too. Each ceremony block with seated guests gets its own Ceremony chairs page, ending with an image of your floor plan with that block highlighted. See Exporting & Sharing Your Seating Chart.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Seats not showing guest names — check your Include filter isn't excluding them.
Layout looks uneven — check Curvature and Angle aren't both set; Angle only applies when Curvature is 0.
