Every wedding planner knows the pain: the seating chart. Who sits with whom. Which aunt can’t sit near which uncle. And then three guests RSVP “yes” after you’ve finalized the table plan.
Live Event Seating lets you build a beautiful, interactive wedding seating chart on your WordPress site—and let guests pick their own seats before the big day.
A Seating Chart That Doesn’t Feel Like a Spreadsheet
Your wedding website should feel like your wedding. Elegant, personal, easy to use.
Live Event Seating gives you:
- Visual table layouts — Round tables, rectangle tables, head tables. Arrange them to match your venue exactly.
- Whole-table booking — Let guests book an entire table for their family or group. One click, one clear cart item.
- Individual seat selection — Or let guests pick individual seats at a shared table.
- Guest-friendly mobile experience — Guests can pan and zoom on their phone, pick their seat, and check out in under a minute.
- Custom table names — Name tables after flowers, cities, songs, anything. Add images and descriptions.
- Accessibility marking — Mark wheelchair-accessible seats and companion seating.
Your guests get an elegant booking experience. You get an accurate, real-time seating chart.

Sell Wedding Tickets Without Fees Eating Your Budget
Wedding costs are already high. Don’t give 3-7% of every guest ticket to a ticketing platform.
Live Event Seating charges a flat yearly fee with 0% commission. Every dollar of revenue stays with you.
| Guests | Avg Ticket | Eventbrite Fees | Live Event Seating | You Keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $150 | $574 | $194.99 | $379 |
| 200 | $175 | $2,008 | $194.99 | $1,813 |
| 500 | $200 | $5,270 | $194.99 | $5,075 |
On a 200-guest wedding, you save over $1,800. That pays for the flowers.

What Wedding Planners Ask Us
Can guests pick their own tables?
Yes. You control whether guests pick individual seats, whole tables, or just claim a spot in a general section. All flexible per event.
Can I add meal choices to the booking?
Yes. The Seat & Table Add-ons feature lets you attach food packages, drink selections, and other extras to a booking. Guests choose their meal when they pick their seat.
How do I handle late RSVPs?
The chart updates in real time. Seats are locked the moment they’re booked. When a late RSVP comes in, just point them to the still-available tables.
Can I stop guests from leaving single empty seats?
Yes. The “Orphan Seat” prevention rule automatically prevents leaving single, unsellable seats at a table.
Can I create a private wedding website?
Absolutely. Live Event Seating runs on your own WordPress site. You control who has access and what they see.
