    Everything we were looking for and more!

    Pocket Changed performed at our wedding back in Oct. 2023. They were a blast, had everyone dancing from beginning to the end. Dave was so pleasant to work with throughout the whole process. I would absolutely recommend them for anyone getting married!

    Pocket Change gets the party going!!!

    The praise I have for Pocket Change is ENDLESS.

    Our friends and family were blown away with the band! All night, we had guests raving over the awesome performance pocket change was putting on. The talent they bring is unmatched, their ability to get and keep a crowd on the dance floor all night is amazing.

    David was a dream to communicate with. Fast and complete responses, with tons of wonderful advice sprinkled in for how to have a smooth wedding day.

    Pocket Change's reply:

    Thank you so much, Anna! We had such a great time playing for you and Paul and your guests. Long live the disco ball!!

    Professional and Fun

    We were so very happy with Pocket Change! Truly, we cannot recommend them enough. From the beginning, the band was quick to respond and very professional. They helped us curate a list of songs to play during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. We were thrilled by their kindness, proactive communication, and care. The reception was beautiful, with the music setting a romantic tone. They helped to make our cocktail hour jazzy and spirited as well! And then for the reception - oh my goodness they had everyone up and dancing! I still, a few months afterward, have friends and relatives saying how wonderful it was to have a live band. And what we loved the most was how the band engaged our guests, making sure everyone was laughing and dancing and having a wonderful time. David and the entire band were excellent - I highly, highly recommend them!

    Great Party & Great Planning

    Our wedding reception was, without a doubt, an epic dance party thanks to Pocket Change. But their talents were on display well before the reception. Dave was a pleasure to work with and did a great job building a set list around our tastes, and editing based on our feedback. They learned a custom song for our entrance to the ceremony, and they did a top notch job sound mixing/mic volume-adjusting during the ceremony so everyone could hear well during a windy day. Cocktail hour was great with their tunes in the background. When it came to the dancing, they totally excelled. First off, they learned another custom song for our first dance, crushed the delivery, and even let me get up and do a little rapping on the mic. From then on, the dance floor was packed the entire night - no hype needed. And a big bonus - within a few days they had posted a really great video montage to Instagram. It was a nice treat to have that! Check it out: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwSvw01qzX3/?igshid=MWZjMTM2ODFkZg== Would definitely recommend booking with this group!

    excellent!

    great experience - fun music and performance and we heard from all our guests how much they enjoyed the band!
    Plus easy to work with, came to the location prior to the event to work out all the sound system detail and set up.
    Highly recommend

    Thank you so much Ellen! We had such a great time playing for you and Luke. Thanks for trusting Pocket Change for your special day!

    Hire This Band and (Pocket) CHANGE Your Wedding for the Better!

    Everything about Pocket Change was a perfect addition to our wedding. Choosing our band was a major priority for us, as we know from experience they can make or break the reception. Pocket Change was everything we wanted, and more. From our first meeting with them, we felt comfortable and heard. They did a fantastic job of listening to our preferences and adapting that to what they were best at to deliver a great performance. They also did a great job of suggesting additions to our "must plays" that really went with the vibe we were looking for. Also, as a side note, the bride is a teacher, and we loved that Pocket Change is a band of music teachers!

    In addition to being absolutely perfect as a wedding band, they were also extremely affordable! We worked with some amazing vendors all around, but Pocket Change is the first review we're writing, because we really wanted to thank them for what they did to make our day special. We had a miscommunication with our venue about who was in charge of ceremony audio, and Pocket Change was able to jump in last minute to provide audio for the ceremony. They also let one of the bride's best friends join them on stage to sing Dancing Queen, which was so special for the bride and groom. There was a small issue with the wireless microphone during speeches, and their technician was able to jump in and solve it immediately! They were great at going with the flow and making situations that could have been stressful not at all. In almost every conversation we have had with guests since our wedding, someone has brought up what a great band they were. Hire Pocket Change - you will not be disappointed!!!

    Perfect Experience! BOOK!

    Pocket Change was the perfect pick for my in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary party, and I'd highly recommend them for any wedding or big event requiring a band! Dave, the primary contact, is incredible and did a great job emceeing the event, speaking gracefully, carefully keeping the time to keep things on track, and accommodating just the vibe we hoped for with the music. Dave and band provide the perfect balance of professionalism and fun. Whether you're looking for light jazz or an all out dance party, Pocket Change is the BEST! Don't hesitate, definitely book them. You won't be disappointed.

    The best!

    Having Pocket Change play during our cocktail reception was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Here's why:
    1. They are SO fantastic to work with! They were responsive to our communication, and they were incredibly prepared.
    2. Great catalogue! The guests enjoyed their music, and it was the perfect backdrop to conversations amongst guests.
    3. After our wedding, one of the things we consistently receive compliments on is the jazz band that played during our cocktail hour :)

    Thanks, Pocket Change!!

    This is the band you've been looking for!

    Professional, delightful, and a very talented group, even with our last minute wedding changes we made. That day, the 2 best decisions my wife and I made were getting married and hiring this band. They'll be first on our list for any event!

    Pocket Change's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, John! We had such a great time playing for your wedding. You remain the only groom to offer to help move my drums! Thanks again!

    Amazing time with an amazing band!!

    We had Pocket Change at our wedding in May 2022 and were so happy we did!! Dave and his band we so much fun the night of the wedding, sounded amazing, and brought some awesome energy to our reception. We worked with Dave on the set list, kinds of music we liked, and some special requests and he was so accommodating and truly made it feel like a partnership to craft the best entertainment for our big day! We 100% recommend Pocket Change for anybody getting married in the RI/MA/CT area!!

    Thanks so much for the review, Jack! We had so much for working with you and Elena. Planning your wedding was almost as much fun as playing at it!

    Great Wedding Band!

    Narragansett Soul was easy to work with and reasonably priced. Most importantly, they did a fantastic job creating a wedding experience that our guests will never forget. They were upbeat, fun, and sounded great!

    Thanks Anna! We had such a good time with you and your guests. I'll never forget everyone's awesome singing on Loveshack!!

    Highly recommended !

    These guys are great! We first heard them at our friends wedding and immediately knew we needed to have them. I must have taken them through three or four song changes before deciding on our dances. Not only did they provide suggestions and feedback to all the questions I had, but they were enthusiastic and flexible the entire way through. They played extra songs at our wedding and had ppl lighting up the dance floor. Guests could not believe the sound that comes out of the lead singer’s voice! I would absolutely recommend working with these guys. You will not be disappointed!

    Pocket Change's reply:

    Hi Victoria & Brian! Thanks so much for the review. We had a great time playing for you and learning some of your "outside of the box" dance requests, it always makes a wedding more special when we know we're playing the songs you love!

    Wicked Fun Band!

    What an amazing band! We had such a blast at the wedding and cannot thank the band enough for all their energy and their amazing performance. Dave was a pleasure to work and communicate with. I planned my own wedding and Dave was great about getting back to me, but also understanding when it took me longer to reply. We booked them pretty far in advance and the band learned a few songs for us. One of these songs included Unforgettable by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole. The band learned the song in the correct key so that my father and I could sing it together during our dance! We put a lot of personal touches into our wedding and I loved that Narragansett Soul rolled with it! It really made the night even more special. Highly recommended!

    Hi Cassandra! Thanks so much for the review! We had a great time at your wedding and really loved how involved you and Tony were in your reception- introducing your own wedding party and singing and dancing!

    Great Music! Beautiful!

    This band was amazing! My guests truly enjoyed the whole experience. David Heath was easy to work with. He had great communication prior to the event. They had the whole room up and dancing at the reception. I absolutely loved them and would use them again if I needed a band. I would highly recommend them!!!

    We had an amazing experience with Narragansett Soul! From the moment we first reached out, Dave and the rest of the band were kind, courteous and very professional. Dave guided me through any details of the night prior to it to make sure everything went as we wanted it to. The singing, instruments and sound quality were perfect. Overall the night turned out perfectly and I wish I could repeat it! I would highly recommend Narragansett Soul!
