About
Floorplans by Tripleseat is a professional-grade event design and floor planning platform built to serve event planners, rental vendors, and venues of all sizes. Now part of the Tripleseat product family, it combines easy drag-and-drop 2D diagramming with immersive 3D rendering to help teams visualize, sell, and execute events with confidence. Users can access a catalog of over 75,000 rental and décor items — including furniture, linens, lighting, and staging — and place them directly into custom 3D rendered venues across 60+ countries. Vision boards can be translated into fully detailed 3D designs, and multiple design concepts can be created and shared with clients through custom dashboards, shareable links, and 3D flythrough videos. For vendors, the platform doubles as a 24/7 virtual showroom that can be embedded on any website, allowing prospective clients to browse inventory interactively in 3D. For venues, it streamlines floor plan customization and client communication, reducing back-and-forth and saving time at every stage of planning. Collaboration tools include sharing controls and permissions, guest list management, quote management from rental companies, and exports in PDF and spreadsheet formats. Whether you're selling a vision to a high-budget client or coordinating logistics across a vendor network, Floorplans by Tripleseat centralizes the entire event planning workflow in one intuitive, modern platform.
