Overall Satisfaction with Cvent Social Tables

In collaboration with one of our vendors, we use Cvent Social Tables to layout seating plans for our major event. Between needing 60% seating for our cocktail reception to doing assigned seating for 600 people for a gala dinner -- seating of which we only assign within ~24 hours of the event once we know how many people are in attendance. We can use the system to generate to scale seating assignments and assign table numbers so the team working on the seating chart can assign people. From within Cvent Social Tables, we can then import table numbers per attendee and use it to send out a quick email blast letting people know where they're sitting. In the past, our team would spend hours on the day of the event, calling people to let them know what table they'd be sitting at that night. So we're able to streamline that all now and allow our employees to better focus on the event attendee experience as a whole.

Pros

  • Table Assignments
  • Dietary Restrictions

Cons

  • Time consuming at initial start.
  • It's changed a lot so creates a learning curve frequently.
We have not used support much for this, we rely on our 3rd party vendor for any issues that we have, but overall Cvent Social Tables support has been great on any solution we're using.

Did Cvent Event Diagramming live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Cvent Event Diagramming go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Cvent Event Diagramming again?

Yes

When you have a complicated dinner -- where you require tables where maybe every the table doesn't have the same number of seats and then each person at a table could potentially have a dietary restriction we need to keep track of. It's also useful for overall just arranging seating if you're doing a general session set up to see how many people can fit or if we need a bigger / smaller space. The ease with which we have been able to collaborate space arrangements between ourselves, our event management partner, and our hotel venue contact has been invaluable in saving time.
