·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Offers 9 ceremony types
  • Starts at $275
  • Serves Gatlinburg, TN

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.

We chose Radiant Gatherings to officiate our wedding and we're so glad we did. From our first conversation, she was quick to respond and genuinely helpful in understanding what we wanted for our ceremony. Sandy was willing to work with us and adjust things as we figured out exactly how we wanted our day to look. On the wedding day, she delivered an excellent performance and felt like a friend, which made such a difference in how smoothly everything flowed. Her guidance with adjusting any changes in the scripts was wonderful and really helped us feel confident about this important part of our celebration. We'd absolutely recommend Radiant Gatherings to any couple looking for an officiant who is kind, professional, and truly invested in making your ceremony special. Thank you Sandy!

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!
