About

I have more than 10 years experience as a wedding officiant. I have officiated at a variety of weddings, from lavish formal affairs with 200 guests to small, intimate gatherings in a French Quarter courtyard. I've officiated an "April Fool’s Day" wedding where all of the guests donned flamboyant costumes, as well as a solemn ceremony conducted at the foot of a hospital bed.

My father, Steve Mortillaro, was the Justice of the Peace in Metairie for 25 years, and I learned at his knee. I am flexible and can accommodate all of your ceremony requests. The ceremony can be custom-tailored to your specifications. I would be honored to be a part of your special day. Thank you for your consideration!

Amazing Officiant!

Rosalie was an amazing officiant for our elopement! She met with us prior to hiring to ensure fit and discuss plans for the ceremony. During the ceremony, her delivery was flawless! Rosalie also went above and beyond on the day of our elopement-- just prior to the scheduled meeting time, we learned the park where we plan to have the ceremony was unexpectedly closed. She was very understanding and flexibly adapted to the last minute change of location.

Simply the B E S T!!

Of course we expected our wedding officiant to be well spoken, thorough, personable and be able to communicate the love my husband and I share for one another. As a same sex wedding we were nervous this would be an issue... Not only did she embrace our vision, she spoke with such a warm sincere voice and touched the hearts of our guests as if she had known us for life! No one would ever guess we had only communicated via phone, text and email about 2 months beforehand. Not only were all our wishes her command, leading up to our big day she was phenomenal. She just seemed to know when it was the perfect time to follow up to ensure we did not miss a deadline. Hands down, 10’s across the board!

I couldn't be more pleased that Rose was a part of my wedding day! Rose was more than willing to meet with me a month or so before the wedding to discuss ceremony details. I had such a great time talking with Rose...it was like chatting with a friend! I knew I had made the right choice, as Rose was friendly, relaxed, and easy-going.

Rose did a wonderful job of fluidly delivering just the right words during each aspect of our ceremony...from the reading of a passage to the "Blending of the Sands," as she so eloquently states it. The entire ceremony felt so intimate and personal. In a word...Perfect!
I would do it all again!

Rosalie was great! Very accommodating and easy to work with: we had some unusual features in our ceremony and a few details that didn't get decided until the last minute, and she was really able to roll with it. Highly recommended!

This is the officiant to hire. Worked us in on short notice. She prepared such a sweet ceremony for us and has such a happy smile and disposition. She put everyone at ease and she was very gracious when our event went on longer than we had scheduled with her. Thank you Rosalie!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
