Company profile

researched Sep 2026

Seated With Love is a software platform for wedding and event venues that covers the planning work that happens after a booking is signed. Venues define their own planning process once, and each booked event follows that structure. Every couple or event host receives a venue-branded planning portal in which they can complete a personalized planning checklist, manage guest lists and RSVP details, build seating charts, work within venue-supplied floor plan templates, answer venue questionnaires, access registry tools, and build a wedding website hosted on a venue subdomain. On the venue side, a workspace and dashboard show event progress, guest counts, seating charts, floor plans and questionnaire completion, with automated reminders intended to reduce repetitive follow-up.

The product also includes vendor management, where certificates of insurance, licences, permits and signed agreements are stored against each vendor record with effective and expiry dates so the vendor list flags lapsed documents; venues maintain separate preferred and non-preferred vendor lists, alongside platform vendors. Additional modules described in help documentation and on the site include a calendar, organization settings with staff roles and invitations, wedding website and floor plan templates, questionnaire sections and conditional follow-up questions, inventory management in the floor plan editor, couple portal color customization, and messaging. Single-venue operators and multi-venue groups can manage properties from one account. Although positioned primarily around weddings, the company states the same tools support engagement parties, showers, birthdays, anniversaries, quinceañeras, sweet sixteens, bar and bat mitzvahs, corporate events, holiday parties, galas, fundraisers, graduation parties, reunions and celebrations of life.

Business model

Seated With Love sells to venues rather than to couples. The site states the platform is free for couples and event hosts and free for a venue once it reaches five active couples, with onboarding included and no credit card required; setup is advertised as ready in 48 hours. Published terms also describe a free tier (one venue template, five active weddings, basic features and export) and a Pro tier (60 venue templates, 300 active weddings, organization features and priority support) billed monthly at $49.99, with payments processed through Stripe and auto-renewing subscriptions.

Two stated revenue sources: subscription fees for the Pro tier at $49.99 per month, and registry commissions. Couples may optionally build a registry; retailers pay the company a cut of guest purchases, and the company remits 30% of eligible registry revenue to the venue, with couples paying nothing extra.

Market position

Positioned against generic event, conference and corporate event management software and general-purpose project management tools, which the company argues do not match wedding venue workflows, and against the fragmented set of third-party websites, spreadsheets, PDFs and apps couples use after booking. It also targets venues on incumbent tools, notably promoting a migration path for users of Cvent's Prismm platform.

The company positions on being purpose-built for wedding venue workflows rather than generic event management: venues codify their planning process once and every event inherits it. It also differentiates on economics — free for couples and event hosts, free for venues at five active couples, and a 30% share of eligible registry revenue paid back to the venue — and on venue-branded portals, venue-supplied floor plan templates and seating chart tools, and vendor document expiry tracking.

Technology

A cloud-based, multi-tenant web platform with venue workspaces and organization-level accounts, staff roles and invitations, branded couple portals served on venue subdomains, a floor plan editor with inventory management, seating chart tools, template systems for floor plans and wedding websites, questionnaires with conditional follow-up logic and sections, automated reminders and messaging. Payments are processed through Stripe.

Go-to-market

Direct sign-up through a self-serve free portal creation flow and a demo booking option on the company site, supported by free onboarding and a stated 48-hour setup. The company runs a content blog covering venue management, floor plans, client portals, packages and pricing, preferred vendor compliance, and AI-assisted venue discovery, and a public help documentation site. It has published migration-oriented content aimed at venues affected by Cvent's sunsetting of the standalone Prismm platform, offering a free migration path. The site also markets AI search visibility for venues as couples increasingly ask AI assistants for venue recommendations.

Wedding and event venues, including single-property operators and multi-location venue groups, plus the couples and event hosts who book them. Account holders must be at least 13 years of age per the terms of service.

Geography

Operates from an address at 206 E Huron St, Suite 315, Ann Arbor, MI 48104; the terms of service are governed by the laws of the United States.
