Welcome to the Thumbtack page for Joyful Unions! I am Rev. dr. Ciarán and I’m so glad to cone t with you. You’ll find here, info re: my officiating services as well as my Spiritual Counselling services. Feel free to reach out re: either.
OFFICIATING:
I love the rituals and moments that help usher in new chapters in our lives and relationships. I love to take time with folks to craft custom ceremonies that honor the past, present, and future of your relationship and family structure.
I gladly specialize in working with the following communities:
LGBTQIA+, Neuro- Divergent, Blended Family, Multi-Faith, Celebrity/ High Profile, Destination, Nature-based/Woods/Beach, Irish, Christian, Polyamorous/Non-Monogamous, Kinky, Leather, Nerdy.
I am glad to work with people on a ceremony for a quick elopement or a multi-hundred person wedding event.
I am an ordained minister (a Dr. and A Rev.) in a progressive Christian denomination. That said, I officiate many ceremonies that are not inherently religious. But, I use my deep respect for the profound connection in your relationship and extensive experience curating connective moments for gathered community to create a transcendent experience for you and your guests.
I am authorized to perform legal wedding ceremonies in MA and in other states as well (with a bit of advanced notice, so that I can register in that state). I am also more than happy to officiate ceremonies that might not be legally recognized, but are deeply important to those involved. Do reach out to chat more!
SPIRITUAL COUNSELLING:
I specialize in pre-marital counseling as well as individual sessions (not related to marriage) that focus on your life’s journey and what is coming up for you as you think about your whole self. If you are seeking a safe conversation partner to explore any of these identities/ topics, especially as they relate to your understanding of God, faith, purpose, identity, etc. please reach out to chat more!
