Lay out your venue
before the day arrives.
Planning a backyard wedding, a banquet hall, or a conference centre? EventCanvas lets you set your space to scale, place every table and chair, and see exactly how many guests will fit — long before the day itself.
Free to use · No sign-up · No download
From empty venue to full guest list, in four steps.
No account, no download — open the designer and start laying out your space. Here's the shape of it.
Set your venue
Enter the dimensions of your space — a backyard, a hall, a marquee. The grid scales to match, so every piece sits at true size.
Arrange the event
Drag round tables, chairs, cocktail stations, a dance floor and a head table onto the plan. A ghost preview follows your cursor.
Check the guest count
Seated guests, tables and chairs tally live as you go, so you always know whether the whole guest list will fit.
Share the plan
Save your layout to revisit, or export it to share with the venue, your caterer and the rental team before the event.
Know your guest count before you commit.
Every table and chair you place updates the count in real time. Swap a round of eight for two cocktail tables and see exactly what it does to your seated guests — before you lock in the venue or the rental order.
The details that make a layout venue-ready.
Snap to grid
Everything aligns to a half-foot grid, so walkways, aisles and the space between tables stay clean and comfortable.
Snap · 0.5 ftRotate & nudge
Turn any piece in tidy 15° steps, then nudge with the arrow keys to land the final inch exactly where you want it.
[ · ] rotate · ← ↑ ↓ →Duplicate in place
Set one banquet table just so, then copy it down the row — no re-placing chairs and settings each time.
Ctrl · DFit & zoom
Fit the whole plan to view or zoom into one corner without losing the grid or the scale you set.
16 px / ftDrawn to true scale
The plan is measured in real feet, not rough proportions, so what you draw is what the venue can actually hold.
