Awarded Best of Zola
We had our dream adventure elopement on 6/9/25 at Roan Mountain on the TN border. Josh created a ceremony that was personal and beautifully written just for us. To say that he went "above and beyond" is an understatement. He was so much more than "just an officiant." He was amazing! Helpful from start to finish in every way imaginable (from music, to hair, to props, pics, and more) ! He is personable, easy to get along with, and downright funny! There needs to be an option for more than 5 stars because he deserves every single one! Recommend 10/10!

Radiant Gatherings 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Knoxville, TN
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Serves Tennessee

Radiant Gatherings started in 2013 when Reverend Sandy Tracy finished seminary and her training as a chaplain at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville, Tennessee. A friend asked her to fill in helping with some weddings and Radiant Gatherings, the wedding officiant business was born! Since that time, Reverend Tracy has officiated over 400 weddings - from traditional religious weddings to interfaith, secular, earthy and completely original. Along with couples, Reverend Tracy creates unique unity ceremonies to include children, families, blended families and stories for couples.

When reflecting on my love for the wedding industry in Tennessee and what sets it apart from countless other wedding destinations, one name immediately comes to mind: Sandy at Radiant Gatherings. From the very first day I met her, she has been an extraordinary person to know, learn from, and grow with. Sandy quickly evolved into a friend and a mentor in both the local wedding scene and life in general. Her passion for her couples truly shines through her work, something I have been privileged to witness firsthand. While there are many options available for officiants, few can match the care, precision, and vibrant energy that comes from interactions with Sandy. Whether your trusted family officiant cannot travel for your ceremony or if you're uncertain about who to entrust with your nuptials, I genuinely believe that choosing Sandy will be one of the best decisions you can make as a couple.

In 2019, my daughter’s best friend was getting married. We showed up to rehearsal to assist with preparations only to be met with panic. Her mother & sisters were frantically looking for an officiant. Why? The pastor overbooked himself and backed out… right before the rehearsal! I jumped into the search but we all came up empty-handed. The rest is history! Beyond booking concerns of having limited officiants available to perform services during the busy seasons, there seems to be a great amount of judgement at play when your traditional officiants won’t perform a marriage ceremony. This is not something you have to worry about with me.

I used Marry Me Meg to officiate our wedding. She absolutely exceeded our expectations! I wanted a simple ceremony, shirt and sweet and to the point, with just a hint of religion but nothing over the top. She sent me several examples of previous weddings she had done plus some ideas from online sources. We got to perfectly tailor our ceremony to be exactly what we wanted it to be, and it was perfection! Meg was easy to communicate with, punctual in timing, and came fully professional and ready to go! I cannot recommend her enough!
