🪑 Ceremony Chairs

Add ceremony seating to your floor plan with ready-made layouts, then fine-tune rows, curvature, and guest assignments.

Written by Nina Dobrev

✨ 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

  1. Open your event's Floor Plan

  2. In the right panel, go to the Library tab

  3. Under Ceremony chairs, pick a layout

  4. 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

🛠️ 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.
