Profile statement. Profile statements, locations, and travel details were supplied by the celebrant or carried from prior directory records. They have not been independently verified as current.

Kirk Samuel Goodsell is one of Australia’s most experienced wedding celebrants, based in Perth with over 18 years in the industry and more than 1,000 weddings to his name. What started as a passion project in Melbourne in 2008 became a full-time calling when he relocated to Perth in 2015, and he hasn’t looked back since.

Modern, fun, and stress-free. Kirk’s approach blends professionalism with genuine personality. His ceremonies are light-hearted with a natural sense of humour, balanced by strong emotion and sincerity. He keeps the couple as the focal point — your ceremony, your story, your way — rather than making it about himself.

Available across Australia, Kirk is based in Perth but regularly travels to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Wollongong for ceremonies. He’s also available for destination weddings anywhere in the country. His services include personalised wedding ceremonies, MC work, PA/sound system provision, all legal documentation, ceremony rehearsals, and custom ceremony writing assistance.

A Brides Choice Award winner with over 100 five-star reviews on Easy Weddings, Kirk’s track record speaks for itself. He holds a Certificate IV in Celebrancy, a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and Cultural Studies, and is a member of the Australian Federation of Civil Celebrants. His background in communications, TV, film, and theatrical productions brings a unique performance quality to every ceremony he delivers.

Kirk welcomes couples of all backgrounds and is experienced in interfaith, civil, and non-religious ceremonies as well as vow renewals.
