The Challenge

What existed before

Most wedding planning tools are checklists with a guest list bolted on. The actual hard part — where does everyone physically sit, and what happens to that when the venue changes shape or twelve people drop out — is left to paper and guesswork.

Seating and floor plans are the same problem viewed twice, but almost every tool treats them as separate screens that quietly fall out of step.

The Approach

How it was solved

The venue editor was built to real scale, so a table that doesn't fit on screen doesn't fit in the room either. That single decision turns the planner from a diagram into a usable answer.

Seating assignments and the floor plan read from the same state, so moving a table moves the people at it, and removing a guest updates the room.

What Was Built

The delivered work

A full planning environment: venue studio, guest management, budget tracking, vendor management and a timeline engine, with a presentation mode for sharing plans and PDF export for the people who still want paper.

Backup and restore, because losing a seating chart two weeks before a wedding is not a recoverable event socially.

Technical

Under the hood

  • Floor plan and seating derive from shared state rather than being mirrored, which removes the entire class of bugs where two views disagree.
  • Layout maths works in real venue units so the plan stays trustworthy at any zoom level.
  • Export path renders the same data to print without a second layout implementation.
Key Features

Outcomes

Where it landed

1:1 Real-scale editor
Live Seating sync

End-to-end Planning tools
Reflection

Building the editor to real-world scale was more work than an approximate one, and it is the only reason the tool is actually useful. Approximate floor plans produce approximate confidence.
