Event Floor Planner vs EventReception

Event Floor Planner is an online tool for making event floor plans and seating charts. Its editor lets users place layout elements by drag and drop, then rotate or resize them. Users can create guest lists, assign people to tables, and export plans as PDF documents. The service is presented for weddings, quinceañeras, corporate events, and other special occasions. It runs on web, Android, and iOS and is described as mobile-friendly, though the designer recommends a desktop or laptop for precise placement and editing. Layouts can be saved to the cloud with an email address without creating an account, and unique links can be used to share them. Anyone with a shared link can view the layout, including guest names and email addresses it contains. Layouts kept in browser storage may be lost if browser data is cleared or the user changes browser or device. The Free plan costs nothing and includes PDF export; no signup is required. Professional templates are described as coming soon.
