Patent-Pending Technology

EventSeater

The world's only double-blind voting system for drama-free seating charts. The complete event management tool.

Not just weddings β€” any event. Single-day or multi-day. Single-venue or multi-location. Birthday parties, reunions, galas, corporate conferences, holiday dinners.

The Problem

Seating Charts Are a Nightmare.
We Fixed That.

Every host knows the pain: Uncle Frank can't sit near Aunt Carol, the college friends want their own table, and your mom has "opinions." EventSeater solves this with a patent-pending double-blind voting system β€” guests express preferences anonymously, and the algorithm does the hard work.

πŸ”’ Double-Blind Means Double-Protected

Votes are completely anonymous β€” no guest ever sees who voted for or against them. Even the host never sees individual negative-preference votes. Couples vote together as a "super-node" β€” treated as one atomic unit so they're always seated side-by-side. The only thing anyone sees is an anonymous count of how many people want to sit near them.

How It Works

From RSVP to Seating Chart in Four Steps

Step 1
πŸ“¨

Invite Guests

Share your event code. Guests RSVP, set plus-one status, choose a profile, and select meal preferences.

β†’
Step 2
πŸ—³οΈ

Anonymous Voting

Each guest votes on who they'd like near β€” or apart from. Couples vote as a "super-node." Votes can be changed anytime before the host's deadline.

Step 3
🧠

AI Optimization

Our optimization algorithm builds the optimal arrangement, respecting all preferences and hard constraints.

Step 4

Reveal Day-Of

Guests discover seats at the event. If someone backs out, the chart instantly regenerates.

⚑ Instant Regeneration

If someone changes their RSVP or backs out β€” even day-of β€” the seating chart instantly regenerates. The host, venue, and every vendor with access see the update in real time. No manual reshuffling. No panic.

Guest Experience

Everything a Guest Needs in One App

Guests manage all events from a single screen β€” RSVP, vote on seating, suggest songs, coordinate rides, share flights, and chat. Each member has a social profile and a professional profile β€” they choose which to show per event.

Track All Your Events

See every event you're hosting or attending in one place. Update RSVP status any time β€” the host and seating chart update instantly. Guests invite their own plus-one right in the app by sharing an invite code β€” no extra work for the host.

Full details at a glance: date, location, attire, table count, plus-one policy, RSVP and voting deadlines.

Dual profiles: Social for family reunions. Professional for corporate galas. You choose per event.

Social Features

Songs, Rides, Flights & Chat

Your Event Command Center

Live RSVP dashboard: Confirmed, maybe, declined, pending β€” all in real time.

Event policies: Plus-one rules, meal options, party favors, co-hosts, sharing permissions β€” one tap.

Real-time messaging: Push notifications to all guests instantly. Venue changes, weather alerts, day-of updates.

Full control: The host can assign specific guests to specific tables β€” like the wedding party or VIPs β€” and the algorithm only runs among those not already assigned. Manual assignments are locked in and never moved.

Deadlines & reminders: The host sets both an RSVP-by date and a vote-by date. One tap sends push reminders to anyone who hasn't voted yet β€” no chasing people down manually.

Votes are flexible: Guests can update their seating votes at any time before the voting deadline closes. Changed your mind about sitting near someone? Just re-vote.


Multi-Day & Multi-Location Events

Built for Every Scale — From Intimate Dinners to Full Conferences.

EventSeater is designed to handle single-day or multi-day events across one venue or many. Whether you’re hosting a weekend retreat with breakout sessions or a multi-city conference, the platform scales effortlessly.

📅 Single or Multi-Day

Run a one-night gala or a three-day conference. EventSeater tracks sessions, schedules, and attendees across every day of your event with full continuity.

📍 Single or Multi-Location

Host breakout sessions in different conference rooms, buildings, or even cities. Each sub-event has its own location, capacity, and RSVP count — all under one event umbrella.

🗓️ Host-Set or Guest-Choice Itineraries

Hosts can assign a fixed itinerary for all guests — or open session slots so guests can browse and self-select. Perfect for conferences where guest speakers run parallel tracks in different rooms.

🎯 Capacity Limits per Sub-Event

Set headcount caps on individual sessions or rooms. When a session fills, it’s automatically closed to new RSVPs — keeping every breakout at exactly the right size.

📊 Per-Session RSVP Tracking

The host dashboard shows a live RSVP count for every session within the main event. Know at a glance which talks are packed and which still have open seats.

✅ Guest-Level RSVP Status

Track exactly which sessions each individual guest has RSVP’d to. Need to know who confirmed for the 2pm keynote? One tap reveals a full list of every guest registered for that specific session.

👥 Automatic Contact List

Once a guest RSVPs to your event, they’re added to your in-app contact list. Future invites to those contacts are instant — they receive a push notification and can confirm with one tap. No re-entering guest info every time.

Patent-Pending Algorithm

EventSeater's core uses advanced optimization over a weighted affinity graph β€” the same class of optimization used in chip design and protein folding. Couples vote as "super-nodes." Negative preferences create hard-constraint veto edges that can never be overridden.
