FOR VENUES & EVENT PLANNERS

Take enquiries straight from your own website

Put your real, measured room plans on your website. Your client sets their guest number, picks a layout, sees the room actually laid out — then enquires while they are still looking at it.

  • Venues publish their rooms; planners publish every venue they work with
  • Your real plans in 2D and 3D, not a photograph
  • Visitors try their own guest count and layout
  • Enquiries land in your leads list, with the room and numbers attached

Event planning tools for planners and venues

One professional workspace for designing client events, proving venue capacity and coordinating the setup team

Drag & Drop Designer

Intuitive interface for placing tables, chairs, and furniture. No design experience required.

Multiple Layouts

Pre-built configurations: Banquet, Theatre, Classroom, U-Shape, Boardroom, and Cabaret styles.

Table & Chair Library

Pre-configured tables and chairs from 3ft to 8ft rounds, rectangles, boardrooms, and more.

Auto-Layout Tools

Automatically calculate optimal table arrangements based on room capacity and guest count.

Layout Optimisation

Generate and rank smarter layouts for capacity, walkways, fire-exit clearance or a mix of table sizes. Preview each option, then apply — your plan never changes until you say so.

Check Current Fit

Swapped to bigger chairs or squeezed tables in? One click audits your room for chair overlaps, blocked walkways and obstacle clashes — with instant, one-click fixes.

3D Viewer

At the click of a button, walk or fly through your floor plan in stunning 3D to visualize the final result and plan sightlines.

Best View

Find the strongest sightlines for speeches, stages and focal points, so the room looks good from the guest’s point of view before setup day.

Create Templates

Save proven room setups as reusable templates for weddings, conferences and repeat events, so every new plan starts from a layout that already works.

GLB / GLTF Venue Scanning

Import room scans from LiDAR and photogrammetry apps such as Polycam and Scaniverse. Metis automatically extracts walls, doors, windows and obstacles while keeping the scanned venue shell visible so you can design inside the real space. Available on Pro, Team and Enterprise.

Export Options

Export to SVG, JSON, or print-ready formats. Share plans with clients and team members.

Background Imports

Effortlessly import room drawings and scale them in seconds — no complicated CAD drawings required.

Guest Table Plans

Assign guests to tables and let auto-seating arrange them for you. Produce polished seating plans in seconds.

Client Review Links

Send clients a secure link to view their plan and leave comments — no account or software needed. Feedback lands straight back in the planner. Available on Pro, Team and Enterprise.

Team Access

Invite colleagues to view and collaborate on plans. Manage user permissions by account tier.

Ops Handover Pack

Turn the finished plan into a printable pack for the setup team: equipment pull list with supplier & sign-off columns, load-in zones, staffing and setup notes, an approved-snapshot QR code and a 3D preview link. Available on Pro, Team and Enterprise.

Two-Factor Authentication

Secure account access with time-based one-time passwords. Works with Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password and other TOTP-compatible authenticator apps.

Microsoft Single Sign-On

Sign in with your Microsoft work, school or personal account via Microsoft Entra ID — standards-based OpenID Connect with OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow and PKCE. No extra password to manage, and it works alongside Entra conditional access policies. Available on Pro, Team and Enterprise.

New & Powerful

Plan smarter, not just prettier

Two tools that turn a good-looking plan into one that genuinely works on the day.

Layout Optimisation

Tell it your goal — maximise capacity, improve walkways, protect fire-exit clearance, reduce table count, or a balanced mix — and it generates a ranked list of alternative layouts, each previewed as a ghost overlay on your plan.

  • Tries fewer-larger, more-smaller, alternative sizes & styles automatically
  • Party-night mode: fill a room with a blend of 2/4/6/8/10-tops, or exact counts you sell
  • Explains the limiting factor — walls, obstacles, spacing or guest count
  • 100% non-destructive — nothing changes until you click Apply

Check Current Fit

Swapped to bigger chairs or squeezed in another table? One click audits the seating you already have and tells you, in plain numbers, exactly what no longer fits — measured between the real chairs you see on screen.

  • Finds chair overlaps, blocked walkways and clashes with pillars, stages & bars
  • One-click fixes: swap to smaller chairs, resize or remove a table
  • Re-checks instantly and highlights each problem on the plan
  • Ignores table décor — only real obstacles count

It’s the little details that sell an event

Every one of these is real — built into the planner and its 3D viewer. No mock-ups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a credit card for the free trial?

No. Your 14-day trial requires only your email and password. We'll never ask for payment details until you decide to upgrade.

What export formats are supported?

You can export floor plans as SVG (scalable vector graphics) and JSON (for data interchange). SVG files can be opened in any design tool or printed to PDF with full fidelity.

Is this for event planners as well as venues?

Yes. Independent event and wedding planners use Metis Room Planner to create client layouts, seating plans and 3D walkthroughs. Venues, hotels, conference centres, restaurants and hospitality teams use the same product to prove capacity, standardise room setups and coordinate delivery. Pricing is based on usage and team size, not job title.

Can multiple team members access the same plan?

Yes, with the Team plan or higher. A Team account includes 4 users who collaborate on shared floor plans and templates, and you can add extra users whenever you need them.

Can I import my existing floor plans?

Yes. You can upload your current floor plans as background images and use them as a guide while designing in Metis Room Planner.

Can you create custom furniture or equipment for our plans?

Yes — that's Furniture on Request. Email [email protected] with three clear photos of the item (front, side and three-quarter view) and its real dimensions — length/width, depth and height — and we'll build it into your library as a true 3D model. Every account, trials included, gets one item free to see the feature with their own furniture. After that we'll confirm the work and the cost with you before anything starts; Pro, Team and Enterprise accounts get preferential rates and priority in the queue.

What happens to my data if I don't upgrade?

After your 14-day trial ends, your account pauses. Your floor plans are safely stored for 30 days. If you reactivate your subscription, you can continue where you left off.
