Reception Layout Question

I'm wondering what computer program (if any) wedding planners use to create a floor layout for their events? We are planning a fairly large wedding at a country club, and it's the first one we've done that requires a lot of moving furniture, rearranging tables, and choosing locations for stations and about a million other things. :) I'm drawing it out, but would like to make a nice computer model for my bride. Has anyone done this? Any pointers? Thanks in advance!

We use PartyCad for assisting our brides with floor layouts.

Yes! The one that I suggested above is from the same company as I Do Weddings.

I like to use www.perfecttableplan.com/ You buy the license once for $30 and then can use it as many times as you want. This is only for layouts/ guest counts, not as much to offer as I Do Weddings. Hope this helps!

I use weddingwire.com or whichever bridal registry my bride is registered on

I have used Google Sketchup and love it. We used it at home before deciding which furniture to buy and to play with remodel ideas for our house. It would easily work for a room layout.
