What customers say about PerfectTablePlan

I just want to thank you, thank you, thank you for your program! Seating over 680 people from several different organizations for our grand banquet was an absolute breeze! You have made my life so much easier! Thanks so much!

Monica Zabolotny, Michigan Credit Union League, USA

PerfectTablePlan is probably the best software purchase I have made for years. It is not only simple to use but produces professional results with the minimum amount of work possible. The first time we used your program it will have saved at least 8 hours work and produced a much more professional end product. Absolutely outstanding value.

It enables me to visualise the seating plan for our large charity dinner (two rooms, one with 410 diners, the other 100 diners). Before your product I had to try and do the plan on scraps of paper that took me ages! ... It will probably save me days of hard work this year and beyond. Thank you for providing an application that is exactly what I have been looking for.

Paul, SF Ball Ltd

Having tried the previous version on a friend's computer, and been very impressed, I have bought my own, and am now trying out the latest upgrade. I think it fair to say that this program is BRILLIANT! I am currently doing a table plan for no less than 297 guests, and this is being made so much easier by your product. ... I am pleased to say that it went off without a hitch. The planning was a dream, rather than the nightmare it could so easily have been, without Perfect Table Plan. I have, and will continue to recommend this program wholeheartedly.
