Our Story

It all started one sunny Sunday afternoon in 2013 — just the two of us, a braai, a bottle of wine, and a dream to build something of our own. We wanted a side hustle that could fuel our love for little getaways and doing life together. That’s when Lené mentioned a company she’d noticed — the owner would drop off Tiffany Chairs every weekend for weddings, moving from venue to venue like clockwork. Something about that rhythm, that quiet consistency, stuck with us. By Monday morning, Chris was already on the phone. A few hours later, we owned 129 brand-new White Tiffany Chairs — no storage, no transport, and no idea what we’d just signed up for. And just like that, Authentic Planning was born.
 

Those early days were full of lessons — figuring out how to store chairs, tow trailers, maintain stock, and work with temporary staff who didn’t always show up. We said yes to everything, even when we didn’t yet have what was needed, trusting we’d find a way. And somehow, we always did.

What began as a bold little leap has become an incredible adventure. We’ve met the most amazing people, worked in breathtaking spaces, and built something that feels deeply ours. We’ve made mistakes, learnt, grown, and refined who we are — but one thing has never changed: our promise to deliver premium quality products and service at a fair price.

And to our incredible team — thank you for your dedication, creativity, and heart. You help make the magic happen every single day.
