Registry-style ceremonies by civil celebrants, not a government registry office. No fuss, no frills, no wedding. Just paperwork.

Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect personal information for bookings, enquiries, and marriage paperwork.

Last updated: March 2026

We handle personal information carefully because marriage paperwork contains sensitive details.

Who we are

The Townsville Marriage Office is operated by Withers XYZ Pty Ltd as trustee for the Snow Withers Trust.

  • your name and contact details
  • information from booking and contact forms
  • identity documents
  • birth details
  • previous marriage documents
  • witness details
  • other information required to prepare and lodge marriage paperwork

Why we collect it

We use your information to:

  • respond to enquiries
  • process bookings
  • prepare and check marriage paperwork
  • communicate with you about your booking

Who we share it with

We share information only where needed, including:

  • with the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages when lodging a marriage
  • with service providers that help us run bookings or forms

We are private celebrants, not a government registry. The usual process is simple: book online, pay the fee, prepare your NOIM, then we confirm the date, time, and place once the paperwork is received and we know our availability.
