Livery Company Table Plans

PerfectTablePlan is ideally suited for creating table plans for Livery Company events

The table plan is an important part of any Livery Company event. But creating a table plan can be time-consuming if you don’t have the right tool for the job. Using scraps of paper or cutting and pasting in Excel is time-consuming and error prone.

PerfectTablePlan is designed specifically for table planning and is used by many of the Livery Companies.

What customers say about PerfectTablePlan

The multi-faceted nature of PerfectTablePlan is the biggest asset for us. As a busy Livery Company we plan and deliver events on a regular basis, and PerfectTablePlan is the primary tool which allows us to do this. It acts as a database for guests, and the custom fields make it easy to track payments, dietary requirements, special seating requests and any other pertinent information we need to record. Beyond acting merely as a database, PerfectTablePlan excels in producing what it calls ‘stationery’. For us these are things like menu pages, pour memoires, place cards and display seating plans. All of these are customisable and can be personalised, giving us the professional finish we pride ourselves on.

Alan Willis, Clerk, Worshipful Company of Bakers

When organising events of any size, I collate all the names, positions, dietary requirements on an excel spreadsheet for ease of accounts. This can then be imported into PerfectTablePlan, where I create the table layout and allocate seating. Details the caterers need, ie dietary requirements and where people are sitting is easily produced and can be sent via email on pdf. Menu labels, place cards, and individual seating plans are just a few of the options, together with scan/bar coding for larger events, multi-room options and company logo on all stationery. I've recommended PerfectTablePlan to many livery companies, who now use it.

Alison Jones, Assistant Clerk, Worshipful Company of Glaziers

I have used Perfect Table Plan for the last 3 years for functions up to 250 people and it has saved me hours in their planning. It is intuitive to use, integrates with other software (notably Excel) for function planning and the outputs can be exported to other software packages to produce high quality products both on paper and for online/screen use. Table layout is extremely flexible and I have yet to encounter a situation which PTP cannot cope with. The best £50 I have spent in this appointment!
