Import a CSV or paste a list from Excel or Sheets
Bring your whole guest list in at once: paste names, or upload a CSV from Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers. We match the columns and you confirm every row.
How Auto-Seat works
Auto-Seat seats your unassigned guests in one click, keeping households together and keep-apart guests apart. It never moves anyone already seated.

What Find Your Seat is and how guests use it
Find Your Seat is your wedding's own guest page: guests scan a QR code, type their name and see their table, a map and your day. No app.
Invite your partner, planner or family
Share your wedding with a private invite link. Pick Editor or Viewer, invite as many people as you like, and see who has joined.
Quick answers
Do I need to pay to use Lovely Seating?
No. A free account lets you build one wedding with a full seating plan — unlimited guests and tables, the floor plan, guest list, RSVPs, CSV import and Auto-Seat. Pro ($39 one-time) unlocks print-ready exports, the Find Your Seat page, collaboration and up to 5 seating plans.
Where are my plans saved?
Your plans save automatically to your Lovely Seating account (look for “All changes saved”), so they follow you to any device you sign in on. Pro adds version history, so you can restore an earlier version.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Every screen works on phones and tablets, including the floor-plan editor. There is no app to install — it runs in your browser.
Can it keep certain guests apart?
Yes. Add a “Keep apart from” relationship on either guest and Auto-Seat will never place them at the same table.
Can I import my guest list from The Knot, Zola or Joy?
Yes. Export the guest list from The Knot, Zola or Joy as a CSV, then import it on the Guests screen; columns are matched for you. There is no live sync with those sites, so import once your list is settled.
Is there a plan for wedding planners?
Yes. Agency ($79/month) gives you unlimited weddings and seating plans plus white-label exports.
