You have a room, a guest list, and two people who cannot sit together.
The Seating Situation draws your room to scale, seats everyone in it, and tells you the moment the chart breaks a rule you wrote in your own words. It never moves anybody behind your back — you do the moving, it does the watching.
The demo is a working room, not a video. No account, nothing saved, nothing to undo.
Start from whatever you already have
Three ways into the same room. You are not asked to draw anything.
A number
Say how many people are coming and how many fit at a table. You get a room with enough tables to hold them, laid out and numbered, ready to drag.
A sentence
“Long hall, dance floor in the middle, top table by the window, about ninety people.” Written the way you would say it, read into a plan.
The venue’s floor plan
Upload the PDF or photo the venue sent you and it is traced into tables you can move. If it cannot read the picture, it says so — it does not invent a room and hand it to you.
Write the rules the way you would say them out loud
There is a box on the page. You type what matters, in English:
Keep the Smiths together. Carol and Ray must not sit at the same table.
It reads that against your guest list, shows you what it understood, and rings the table the moment the chart breaks it. Nobody is moved for you, and no rule is enforced over your head. It is a warning, not a rearrangement.
Move anyone, and it stays moved
Drag a table where you actually want it in the room. Tap a guest’s name to send them to another table. Every change saves itself as you go, and one button puts the last one back.
Both sides stay in step: the room is the drawing, the rail is the same seating written out, and moving one moves the other.

Then get it off the screen
A chart you can print
The room, at the size a person standing in a doorway can read, with the table numbers staying legible wherever the seats fall.
Place cards and lists
The seating written out per table, ready to hand to whoever is setting the room up on the day.
A link for someone else
Send a link that lets a partner or a planner move people around — or one that lets them look and change nothing. It expires when you say.
It is not only for weddings
Rehearsal dinners and receptions, yes — and fundraisers, galas, conference banquets, company off-sites, class reunions, church suppers, awards nights, a board dinner for twenty. Anything where people sit down at tables and it matters who is next to whom.
