Prismm Is Shutting Down: Sunset Timeline & Free Migration for Wedding Venues
Cvent is sunsetting the standalone Prismm platform on December 31, 2026, and templates do not migrate. Here is the timeline, what survives, and a free path forward for wedding venues.
The short answer: Prismm, the floor plan and event-design tool formerly known as Allseated, was acquired by Cvent in April 2025, and the standalone Prismm platform is scheduled to sunset on December 31, 2026. The phase-out has already begun: the ability to create new Prismm events is ending on an account-by-account basis between July 8 and September 30, Prismm becomes view-and-export-only on October 1, and events dated before January 1, 2022 will not remain accessible after the transition. Cvent is moving customers to Cvent Event Diagramming (formerly Social Tables), but templates, favorites, and object groups do not move with them.
Seated With Love offers wedding venues a different path: a floor plan tool that is free for venues, with a done-for-you rebuild of your existing plans, templates, and inventory, also free, typically delivered within two weeks.
What happened to Allseated?
Allseated rebranded as Prismm in January 2024. In April 2025, Cvent acquired Prismm; terms were not disclosed. Cvent already owned a diagramming product, Social Tables, now called Cvent Event Diagramming, and that is where Prismm customers are being migrated.
Is Prismm being discontinued?
Yes, as a standalone platform. Per Cvent's own migration resources, the timeline is:
- July 8 – September 30, 2026: the ability to create new Prismm events ends, with each account notified at least 30 days before its cutoff
- October 1, 2026: Prismm becomes view-and-export-only
- December 31, 2026: prismm.com access and support end
Cvent says existing customers' plans and pricing will not change through the migration, and it has said it will continue offering event-based plans for venue clients. The disruption is not primarily about price. It is about the migration itself.
What actually happens to my floor plans and templates?
This is the part that matters for a working venue, straight from Cvent's migration FAQ:
- Prismm events dated January 1, 2022 or later remain viewable in Cvent Event Diagramming
- Events older than January 1, 2022 will not be accessible and must be exported before the shutdown
- Templates, favorite objects, and groups will not be moved and must be recreated by hand in the new tool
For a venue with years of refined layouts, a tuned inventory of tables and chairs, and templates for every package it sells, "the events move but the templates do not" means rebuilding the working core of the tool from scratch, during wedding season, inside a product with a corporate-events lineage.
What a wedding venue needs in a replacement
The floor plan workflow comes down to the same list at nearly every venue:
- Templates for your standard layouts that every new event starts from
- Your real inventory: your tables, chairs, arches, and bars, with counts tracked so a layout cannot exceed what you own
- Fast editing: copy and paste, exact-spacing row distribution, minimum-distance warnings, chair-level control per table
- A couple-facing view where couples preview layouts, choose one, or edit within your rules, with anything they add tracked separately from your inventory
- Clean handoff: printable, shareable plans your team and vendors work from on event day
That is the replacement checklist, and it is what the Seated With Love floor plan tool does today, free for venues.
How the migration to Seated With Love works
The gap nobody else fills is not the software. It is the labor of reconstruction. So we do it for you:
- Export your plans from Prismm while export is still available (we can help you get everything out, including pre-2022 events before they become unreachable).
- Send us what you have; PDFs in a zip file are fine.
- We rebuild every unique layout as an editable floor plan, free of charge. Your templates, venue spaces, inventory, and preferred vendors are set up as part of the rebuild.
- You get your plans back, editable, typically within two weeks.
- Invite your couples by email; a four-minute walkthrough video trains them so your team does not have to.
A multi-venue group migrating hundreds of events is doing exactly this now. The rebuild quote came to a small fraction of their annual software renewal.
What it costs after migration
Nothing, for venues. Seated With Love is free for venues; revenue comes from the couple side, through the registry program (which venues share in) and hotel-booking affiliates on couple websites. There is no per-user pricing and no per-venue pricing.
Do I have to switch my whole stack?
No. The platform is modular. Turn on only the floor plan tool; couples never see features you leave off. Venues that start with floor plans tend to turn on the wedding website, RSVP sync, and registry later because they live under one roof, but nothing requires it.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free Prismm alternative for wedding venues?
Yes. Seated With Love's floor plan tool is free for venues, with templates, inventory tracking, chair-level control, spacing tools, and couple-facing views. Other paid alternatives exist in the $15 to $60 per month range; none we have seen offer rebuild of your existing Prismm assets.

Can I migrate my existing Prismm floor plans?
Cvent's migration moves your post-2021 events to Cvent Event Diagramming but not your templates, favorites, or groups. Seated With Love rebuilds your layouts from exports or PDFs free of charge, with a roughly two-week turnaround.
What happens to Prismm events older than 2022?
Per Cvent's FAQ, they will not remain accessible after the transition. Export them now, whatever tool you move to. We can help with the export.
Prismm vs. Cvent Event Diagramming: what changes?
Same owner, different product. CED (formerly Social Tables) carries your recent events over, but templates and favorites must be recreated, and the product's lineage is corporate events and hotel ballrooms rather than independent wedding venues.
Can couples see or edit the floor plan?
Your choice, per event: preview-and-choose from your templates, or full edit access within your inventory, with couple-added items flagged for your team.
Can I use just the floor plan tool?
Yes. Every feature switches off independently, and couples never see what is off.
Does my team have to train couples?
No. Couples get a four-minute walkthrough video when invited.
