seating guests
Assigning people chairs
Seating guests is the act of arranging where people sit, typically at a formal event like a wedding, dinner party, or banquet.
The phrase implies deliberate placement rather than letting people choose: We spent hours seating guests to avoid putting feuding relatives at the same table.
A seating chart or seating arrangement is the resulting plan.
