Dear MF Grange
Thank you for your Official Information Act request. You requested:
For the Greater Wellington region 2016 - 2019 (YTD):
- Total number of marriages registered by an independent celebrant;
- Total number of civil unions registered by an independent celebrant;
- The (approx) 30 independent celebrants that have officiated the greatest amount of marriages; and
- The (approx) 30 independent celebrants that have officiated the greatest amount of marriages.
I would like to clarify your final question. This appears to be a repeat of the question before, did you in fact mean "The (approx.) 30 independent celebrants that have officiated the greatest amount of civil unions"?, as you mention civil unions in question 2.
Please confirm or clarify and we will begin gathering the data.
Regards, Emma
