To save time and streamline planning, New York event professionals love Allseated for the many benefits of using the collaborative planning tools. Here are the top 7 reasons New Yorkers love Allseated.
1. Added value for clients
Clients today are looking for added value when working with venues. One way for banquet halls in New York to provide added value is by providing clients with access to Allseated’s guest list tool.

2. Improved accuracy with floorplans to-scale
New Yorkers love using Allseated’s floorplan generator tools. Floorplans are designed to scale and the tools make it really easy and efficient to place objects in the event layout to design the floorplan. Using the floorplan and event layout tool improves accuracy and ease of set up.
When using Allseated to create a floorplan for a wedding or event located at banquet halls in New York or other area venues, it is very easy to customize the details and include what is needed to design the floorplan.
Allseated is constantly updating features to bring users even more tools and ways to best create their floorplans.

At any time during the floorplan design process, switch from 2D viewing to 3D viewing to take a virtual walkthrough of the layout. 3D viewing has various viewing options. Choose Bird’s Eye viewing to see the floorplan from an above view, or alternatively, you can walk through the 3D layout in 1st Person View.

3. Enhanced visualization
Using Allseated’s 3D viewing options and Virtual Reality technology truly makes it feel as if you’re actually immersed in an event space.

Using Allseated’s 3D viewing as Allseated’s Virtual Reality truly makes it feel as if you’re actually immersed in an event space.
With enhanced visualization through 3D floorplan viewing options, you are best equipped to design your floorplan layout accurately, leaving less room for error on the day of the event.
