Latoya Charmaine Haney McGowan

My name is LaToya, and I am an ordained minister who is passionate about helping people celebrate life’s most sacred moments. I believe in the power of love, connection, and meaningful ceremony. I specialize in performing weddings, vow renewals, elopements, and commitment ceremonies with a personal, heartfelt touch. My goal is to create a welcoming space for all couples, regardless of background or belief.

I am originally from Syracuse, New York, and now I’m based in Frisco, Texas. I proudly serve clients locally and am also available for travel as a destination wedding officiant.

Unite couples in love with authenticity and joy. Offer inclusive services that respect all beliefs, backgrounds, and traditions. Inspire deeper spiritual connection through custom ceremonies. Be a trusted guide during one of the most important milestones in a person’s life.

Yes. I consider myself a non-denominational, spiritually grounded minister who honors all faiths, paths, and belief systems. My goal is not to convert or impose any specific doctrine, but to create a safe and welcoming space for every couple—whether they are religious, spiritual, interfaith, or secular.

I believe that love is divine, and I respect the different ways people connect to that divinity—whether through God, the Universe, ancestral traditions, or personal values. I’m happy to incorporate meaningful prayers, scriptures, rituals, or symbolic elements from your faith or cultural background into your ceremony, or keep things completely neutral and non-religious.

At the heart of my ministry is compassion, connection, and inclusivity. I believe every couple deserves a ceremony that reflects who they are and what they believe.

What makes my ceremonies special is the level of personalization, care, and genuine love I bring to each one. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all weddings. Every couple has a unique story, and I take the time to truly understand who they are and what they want their ceremony to reflect.

Whether it’s a joyful, lighthearted celebration or a deeply spiritual union, I create a ceremony that resonates with the couple’s energy and vision. I’m intentional with every word spoken, making sure the ceremony feels authentic, inclusive, and meaningful—not just for the couple, but for everyone present.

My calm and nurturing presence helps couples feel grounded and at peace on what can be an emotional day. I view it as an honor and sacred responsibility to officiate one of the most important moments of someone’s life.

Yes! In addition to wedding ceremonies, I offer a range of services that allow people to mark life’s milestones with purpose and beauty. These include vow renewals, elopements, sign-and-go ceremonies, virtual weddings, and destination ceremonies. I also provide pre-marital guidance for couples who want to spiritually or emotionally prepare for marriage.

I welcome couples of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities—including interfaith, spiritual-but-not-religious, and LGBTQ+ couples. I believe love is universal and sacred, and my mission is to honor that love in every form.

I’m also available for travel weddings and enjoy helping couples create unforgettable ceremonies in scenic locations. Whether you’re saying “I do” on a mountaintop, in a backyard, or over Zoom, I’m here to make sure the moment feels truly yours.
