Henning Companies 100th Anniversary Prohibition Party – A Night to Remember

Celebrating a century of success is no small feat, and Henning Companies did it in style with a spectacular Prohibition-era themed party at the stunning Scottish Rite Consistory in Des Moines. The night was filled with vintage charm, exquisite cocktails, and a nod to history, making it a truly unforgettable event.

A Toast to 100 Years

Henning Company pulled out all the stops for their 100th anniversary celebration, transforming the venue into a glamorous 1920s speakeasy. Guests arrived in period attire, adding to the immersive experience of stepping back in time. From flapper dresses to sharp pinstripe suits, the night was a visual masterpiece, full of character and elegance.

Custom Cocktails and Exclusive Bourbon

No prohibition party is complete without a lineup of incredible drinks, and Apres delivered with custom cocktails that fit the theme perfectly. In addition to the speakeasy-style libations, each guest received a special party favor—a custom bottle of whiskey made exclusively for the event by Cedar Ridge Distillery. It was a fitting tribute to the company's legacy, blending tradition and craftsmanship in every sip.

A Special 50th Anniversary Celebration

Amidst the centennial festivities, there was another significant milestone to honor—Henning Company's 50th anniversary under its current leadership. This heartfelt moment was celebrated with speeches, toasts, and reflections on the company's evolution over the decades. It was a reminder of the dedication and vision that have fueled Henning's success.
