Letting Love In 365

  • Serves Mad River, CA

Letting Love In is a business based in Redding, California that offers wedding officiant services, resilient relationship coaching, trauma-informed yoga, and soulful photography. This business creates a space for connections where to-be-weds and their loved ones can experience deeper levels of joy, peace, and love. Jess will assist in curating your special day with an authentic and open heart to design a ceremony that you will remember forever. B4 Monday Photographer, Dennis, will be there to honor your love story through authentic and meaningful photos that document your big day.

“We met Jess at a local wedding expo, and my now-husband and I felt an immediate connection with her. After a discussion about the services she offered, we did a lap around the expo to discuss our thoughts and both agreed Jess felt like the right fit for our wedding. We immediately returned and booked her for our desired date, which was the first reservation we made for our wedding (even before the venue!). I am so glad we did! Jess has been amazing to work with. She is so kind and communicative. She wrote us a beautiful ceremony that really fit us and our wants. She gave great options for things that we could include in the ceremony if we wanted and even created a special hand blessing for us based on a different tradition we had mentioned we thought was cool. I loved that she kept some of the ceremony script a surprise until the ceremony itself as it made it feel even more special and impactful to me. We invited Jess to stay for the remainder of our wedding, and she fit right in with our family and friends. She added a lot of positive energy and love to a magical day. Our guests all loved her and made many positive comments about her ceremony and her as a person. In addition to officiating, we also asked Jess to lead a morning yoga class on the morning of the wedding. Again, we are so happy we did! I enjoy yoga but don't do it as frequently as I should, and I was on the fence about attending because I was starting to get stressed about wedding logistics. I decided to go, and it was exactly what I needed. Her class was appropriate for all levels, so I didn't feel pressured to do something that was too difficult. Those who are more advanced had options to do things at their level too. After I felt so calm and ready to take on anything that came my way, which significantly helped with my ability to be in the moment for the wedding and let go of control of all the logistics (something I struggle with). All our family in attendance loved the class, including my Mother in Law that is a yoga teacher herself. If you are considering taking her class or having her lead one at your event, do it! We also have been working with Jess on resilient relationship coaching. It has been very helpful so far in deepening our understanding of each other, supporting each other’s personal growth, and improving the communication issues we have struggled with over the years. It can be very hard for me to be vulnerable in front of others, but Jess creates a loving and accepting space that makes it possible to be open and honest in our sessions. Since we are not in the area, we have been able to do the sessions via Zoom, which has been very convenient. Our experience with Jess has been very positive and we would both highly recommend her to anyone looking for officiating, coaching, or yoga. In fact, I have already recommended her coaching to a family member”

Hi! My name is Anna Soco (she/her) and I'm the PNW's premiere Queer wedding officiant and believer in love. My work is rooted in the belief that love is alive, communal, and transformative - and because of that, your wedding ceremony should be, too! I work with soulmates of all kinds to create ceremonies that reflect what truly matters most to you. My clients (y'all!) are my "co" - each new client relationship is an opportunity to learn more about love, together. I adore, appreciate, and learn from each and every one of you. And I never quit rooting for my couples!

“Anna Socolofsky was such a dream officiant. She brought the kind of mature, strong, knowing presence to our time working together and to our wedding that made us feel so held and allowed us to stand in our power. Any wedding nerves fell away because it was like walking into this next season of life with someone who was there to support and help you trust your own strength. She not only worked with our psychotically short time frame but brought a focus on queer love and joy to our wedding that was so vital and important to us. We did a very intimate small casual wedding but having her presence brought the cohesion that the ceremony needed to make it feel like a ritual and not just a backyard party. We will always remember working with her with fondness and recommend her to so many in our community.”
