You can guarantee that singles will be at a table where they can mingle and feel more comfortable.
You can guarantee that people with the same interest can sit together.
You can manage family drama by placement of family members who don’t always see eye to eye.
You can manage food allergies better by letting the caterer know which table consist of people with allergies.
You can guarantee that people have their own space for themselves and their belongings.

You don’t have to mess with a seating chart or map. Less work on your part.
People will most likely end up sitting with someone they don’t know, which is good for mingling.
Free seating is great for small, intimate weddings or events.
