Shreveport witnessed a union that was nothing short of magical as the Jordan Fielder and Jon Johnson came together to celebrate love at the iconic 3201 Centenary. This couple’s story began in the halls of Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, where they honed their athletic prowess—he on the football field and she on the softball diamond. Their bond, forged in the spirit of sportsmanship, blossomed into love, culminating in a Christmas engagement in 2022.
In the heart of Shreveport, an old church has been reborn, with the vision of Dick Grieder, 3201 Centenary has become one of the city’s most sought-after wedding venues. This historic location beautifully marries the architectural splendor of the past with contemporary design. With a unique blend of history and modern romance, the floor to ceiling windows, which once bore witness to countless prayers and sermons, now cast colorful hues on joyous wedding celebrations. The venue’s tall, arching ceilings echo with laughter and love, while its revamped interiors provide a chic backdrop for any couple’s dream day.
A Whimsical Wedding at 3201 Centenary isn’t just an event; it’s an experience where old-world charm meets modern-day fairy tales.
