Many years in the public eye have offered Lionel a unique insight into relationships and in the past three decades he has conducted thousands of weddings, vow renewals and name giving ceremonies as a caring and committed civil celebrant.

Through out these experiences, Lionel discovered that famous or not, everyone shares the same aspirations, fears and joys. "No one wants to share an intimate moment in their life with someone they don’t have complete faith in". And on first meeting Lionel Yorke, there is no doubt that he is someone you’d like to share your special wedding day with. Apart from his natural warmth and glowing personality, his empathy and understanding of privacy has made him a sought after civil marriage celebrant.

Lionel conducts ceremonies in Perth as well as in Broome.
