House of Vellum
◆
A table-plan file for UK wedding venues and planners. Guest names never leave the venue computer — no US cloud, no guest login. Day and evening lists, the fourteen allergens, ceremony and reception on one Saturday. Not a booking system.
In the PayPal note, write: Vellum — annual licence
A picture of a Saturday floor plan — not a live table plan. Open the demo to switch events and move seats.
Vellum runs as a file on the venue computer. Names, meals, wheelchairs, allergens — none of it is sent to a server in California, or anywhere else. There is no account. That is the point. UK GDPR is simpler when the guest list is not in a US cloud product.
Each guest can carry the UK 14 allergens — celery through sulphites — plus a free-text note. The kitchen sheet groups them twice: by allergen, and by table. Supplier covers (photographer, band, registrar, videographer) are counted apart from the guest headcount, because the chef asked.
Classic English wedding: some people are there for the service and the breakfast; some arrive for dancing. Mark them. Daytime print hides the evening-only names. Evening print brings them back. One event, two rooms in time.
Ceremony seating and the reception — or the marquee backup if June misbehaves — live as two layouts on the same event. One click to switch. Dance floor, bar, cake, DJ, gift table and entrance sit on the canvas as objects, not as a guest table pretending.
Wheelchair space, assistance dog, near the toilets, away from the speakers, a quiet table, a large-print place card. If a wheelchair seat is pushed to a blocked edge, Vellum warns. It does not lecture. It flags.
Keep families together; keep certain names apart. Auto-seat and auto-balance will try, greedily, and then get out of the way. Swap two people by dropping one name on the other. Speech order for the top table. Undo, and redo.
Chart, place cards, escort list, table names, kitchen tally. Ivory, sage, blush or navy ink. A high-contrast toggle when the printer is tired. Keyboard for coordinators who cannot, or will not, drag with a mouse: arrows to seat, Alt-arrows to move a table.
Not a booking diary. Not RSVP. Not venue management. Not a design service. Couples buying one wedding should use Seatfold, fifteen pounds, personal use. The public demo is twelve guests and two events, so you can feel the file before you licence it.
Annual venue licence
About £25 a month, billed once yearly. Unlimited events and guests on the machines you use for floor plans. Pay with PayPal. In the note, write Vellum — annual licence so the download can be matched.
Licence: one venue or planner practice, for twelve months. Do not redistribute the file. No custom layout work is included. Couples looking for a single wedding should use Seatfold — £15, personal use.
UK wedding venues and planners who run a room most Saturdays. It is not the couple product. Couples should buy Seatfold.
No, not after the file has been opened once (so the typefaces can load). After that it runs from the folder on the venue computer.
In this browser, on this computer. Nothing is sent to a server — not names, not allergens, not who cannot sit with whom. Copy the HTML folder if you change machines. That is the GDPR story: the list never leaves the venue.
Twelve guests per event, and two events. Print, place cards, meals, keep-apart pairs and CSV still work. The paid file removes those caps.
Yes. Mark each name as day, evening, or both. Daytime print hides evening-only people. Evening print shows them. The same event holds ceremony and reception layouts, switched with one click.
No. It does not take bookings, deposits, or guest replies. It is a floor plan.
PayPal, £299 once a year, using the button on this page. Put Vellum — annual licence in the PayPal note.
