Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Rev. Todd Rodarmel from Nashvows.com was truly wonderful. From the very beginning, his communication was perfect - he was open, responsive, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. As a couple getting married at the Gaylord Opry Hotel in Nashville while living in Michigan, having a pastor who could meet with us over Zoom was incredibly helpful. Rev. Todd took the time to get to know us and incorporated personal touches into our ceremony that made it feel so special and meaningful. You can tell he truly loves what he does and has a deep passion for God. On the day of our wedding, his kind words and guidance helped us feel relaxed and allowed us to fully enjoy our special day. I would highly recommend Rev. Todd to any couple looking for an officiant who will make your ceremony unique and unforgettable.

If you are on the hunt for a wedding officiant that specializes in custom-made wedding ceremonies and premarital coaching (aka “premarital counseling”), then you've come to the right place!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my husband and I started planning our wedding, it was really important to us to find a professional officiant who we could work with leading up to the wedding and trust to make the day as smooth as possible. Chance's "I Do It All" package was everything we wanted and more! Our coaching sessions leading up to the wedding were fun, sentimental, and helped us prepare for married life. When our wedding day came, our guests thought Chance had known us for years based on how personal the ceremony was! Everything went flawlessly, and that's all attributed to Chance. Having a professional, thoughtful officiant is a game-changer on your wedding day. He'll make sure no phones are out, the guests stand & sit when they're supposed to, and hop out of the way for that first kiss picture. He puts so much time and effort into making sure each ceremony is specialized for the couple he's working with - regardless of which package you choose! I cannot recommend Chance highly enough. Work with him for your wedding - I promise it'll be one of the best decisions you make!

Joshua Maples Wedding Officiant was the perfect choice for our wedding ceremony. From the moment we first spoke with him, his communication style was responsive, clear, friendly and even humorous at times, putting us completely at ease. The quality of his work and the value he provided was truly invaluable - he was like the Chick-fil-A of all officiants, delivering a Hallmark-worthy performance. Joshua went above and beyond, rehearsing and coordinating the entire event seamlessly. He even took us out for beautiful golden hour sunset photos, assisted with when to cut the cake and the dancing, and even stepped in as our DJ and poured the champagne. Joshua also helped us obtain our marriage license and is returning it for us since our wedding was on a short weekend. We didn't just get the officiant we wanted, we got the one we needed. I would book Joshua Maples 1 million percent for any wedding ceremony.

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.
