Best band ever

The Pictures Band was such a special part of our wedding day. They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night and we had so many guests come up to us throughout the night to tell us how impressed they were with them. Our main goal for our wedding was to make sure our guests had a good time, and The Pictures exceeded all of our expectations. Byron was amazing to work with during the planning process and was so responsive. They had never played at our venue, but they were amazing at working out logistics of setting up seamlessly. Booking The Pictures was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They truly made it an unforgettable night and I can’t recommend them enough!

The BEST band!

We can’t say enough amazing things about The Pictures Band! They traveled from Austin to Dallas for our wedding, and from the very first song, the dance floor was packed. They played such a great mix of all our favorite songs and their energy was contagious. Our guests rarely left the dance floor! Additionally, Byron was such a joy to work with. You can tell he genuinely cares about his couples and wants everything to be perfect. He was so responsive and accommodating in the months leading up to the wedding, which made everything feel easy and stress-free. Our guests are still raving about how amazing the band was! If you want a group that’s talented, professional, and completely dedicated to making your celebration unforgettable, The Pictures Band is the one for you.

A Wedding Performance We Absolutely Loved!!

The Pictures ended up being a 5 star class act and we couldn’t have been happier. They met with us before the wedding via Zoom to discuss music options and walked us through the process to ensure we both captured our vision and captured the audience. They have been doing this for decades and it shows by how professional they are and how wonderful they sound. We had a mix of songs across every genre and every decade, and they nailed every single one, including a request to learn something new that they hadn’t tried before. We would recommend working with them 10/10 times. They made our wedding an unforgettable event and such a joyous occasion. We have gotten compliment after compliment from the friends and family that attended and it couldn’t have made us any happier. We will be using them again - Thank you!

Our Daughter’s Wedding

The Pictures Band was absolutely incredible for our daughter’s wedding! They were engaging, fun, and catered perfectly to the vibe we wanted for the evening. Their playlist was versatile, keeping all ages entertained, and the horns were the BEST touch! Communication in the months leading up to the wedding was so genuine and easy that it felt like we were longtime friends by the time the big day arrived. Our guests raved about them, and the dance floor was packed all night long. We couldn’t have asked for a better band—highly, highly recommend The Pictures Band!

Fantastic band

The Pictures Band has now performed at two weddings for us, and we love working with them Byron walks you through everything long before the event, and makes sure the band knows the songs you want. But you really can leave most of the song selection to them, because they really know how to get a wedding crowd up and on their feet. Dance floor was packed, and the performance was great. They are a multi-piece band, and every musician is terrific. You can't go wrong with these guys.

Best Band Ever!

We had The Pictures play at our wedding, and they were absolutely amazing! They performed all the best songs with incredible covers and mashups, and they even learned specific songs we requested, making our night truly special. They worked closely with us to capture the perfect vibe, and we couldn’t have asked for a better band. We can’t recommend them enough and would gladly see them live around Austin. Thank you, especially to Byron and Tori, for making our day so memorable!

BEST Wedding Band!

We hired The Pictures Band for our wedding and they were BY FAR the BEST wedding band I have ever experienced. And that is not me being biased, I am STILL 10 days later, having guests reach out to me telling me how amazing our wedding band was and that it was the best band they have ever seen at a wedding. They were BY FAR the best part of our wedding day and I cannot recommend them enough!!!
