    Highly Recommend- Great sound and so much fun

    I recently attended a wedding where The Pictures Band played. They were amazing- excellent music and vocals. They were interactive with the crowd and facilitated so many fun moments. Great energy and made for such a fun celebration. I highly recommend them.

    The Best Band Ever!

    The Pictures Band is truly awesome! They played for our daughter's wedding reception and were amazing! We had people all night long ask where our daughter/son-in-law found the band. They were the best band we had ever heard. They are great with the guests...personable, fun, and interactive. Their song choices are amazing...a great mix of fast, slow, country, etc. They played music for all ages. Their wedding was truly wonderful and The Pictures Band is one of the many reasons why it was. Hire them for your reception; you will be so glad you did!

    The dream band!

    Not only was the band’s energy and performance amazing throughout our reception, they were so willing to make the day exactly what we wanted. They even learned a new song because my husband and his mom wanted to dance to it.

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Thank You so very much Ashley! You and Jake looked so full of Joy Dancing with all your friends and family! The entire band was beaming to get to be a part of y'all's special day!!!! These reviews are one of the only ways anyone knows if we are worthy of hiring, so your experience is so important and precious! Glad you liked the first dances we played and learned as well :) Hope we keep seeing y'all's family over and over, because we sure love all the wonderful memories we are creating together! Congratulations again!!! - Byron and The Pictures Band

    Amazing band!!!

    Byron was amazing since the first time we talked. Band was just spectacular! People didn’t stop dancing for a minute and I got so many people telling me multiple times how awesome they were!

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Katia, Thank You so very much! It has been such a pleasure working with you and Dave the entire way! We are all so very happy for y'all!!! It means so incredibly much to me to read your lovely review! The dance floor was always full and that is how we know we have done a good job for you.

    Amazing! 111

    We LOVED the Pictures Band!!! They are so professional and easy to work with, sound INCREDIBLE (I think they can play any song!!!), and can get any crowd going!!! We got so many comments from guests on how great they were and how they felt like they were at a professional concert. They had everyone out on the dance floor. 100% would recommend!

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Thank You Danielle and Noam! Congratulations again on your Wonderful wedding! We all had so much fun with y'all and so glad you chose us! It was nice to be at Beth Yeshurun again w such lovely congregation. I really enjoyed getting to know you and your mother better when you came to see us at the Oasis in Austin too!

    Ultimate wedding band!

    My daughter & son-in-law selected The Pictures Band for their wedding based on reviews. I had some apprehension having never heard them & not having any personal references since we're in Houston & they're in Austin. After meeting with them we began to get more comfortable, once they began playing all concerns were vaporized...they were great exceeding all expectations! They brought a very high level of energy to the reception all night long. We could not have been more pleased & can highly recommend them!

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Thank YOU so very much for your review on the The Pictures Band!
    Did Hannah introduce you to us? I am thinking thats how we all initially met, so I want to give her some kudos as well, because we sure did enjoy getting to know you and work with you along the process of making all y'all's wedding plans! I agree, the reception was electric and so much fun with the you and the crowd dancing on the packed dance floor all night! Our goal is to help create memories that last a lifetime! That's why I named the band The Pictures Band! :) This is a full time passion career for us in the band and so it means the world to know you are so happy with the result! Since the band performs all over the state, the majority of our clients hire us from there website/Instagram videos, song lists and reviews etc, so I am over the moon you put your faith in us and it paid off so well! Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday season! Gratefully, Byron and The Pictures Band

    Best of the best!!!

    If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Not only is their music phenomenal, but every band member is so kind and went above and beyond for our special day. They were truly the life of the party and the energy on the dance floor was amazing all night long. Cannot recommend enough!

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Awww! That is so very thoughtful Lorna and Nelson! We All had so much fun with y'all and was such a pleasure getting to know y'all along the way as well!
    The White Sparrow was filled with so much JOY for y'all all evening long! Thank You for being So great to work with too. It all went so smoothly to create some forever memories!

    The Pictures Band goes over the top & does an amazing job keeping the dance floor full! I booked them immediately when I got engaged after watching them play a friends wedding the summer before that! Highly recommend them!

    Hire the pictures for a uplifting experience

    The Pictures Band made my wedding night! This is not an exaggeration. The high energy and performance got everyone dancing. The band got the crowd dancing and moving. This is exactly was looking for, a band to create a fun atmosphere. The Pictures were able to get my guests singing also which made the night even more memorable.

    To top this all off, Byron with the band was so easy to work with. This helped me feel relieved that everything was under control. I highly recommend The Pictures Band for any event to create an uplifting atmosphere that gets everyone involved.

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Oh Desiree that is really lovely! Each one of the band appreciate you choosing us! Our motto is "Singing and Dancing our way through Life"! You were awesome to work with as well and I sure do appreciate how 'easy and flowing' everything went. I really loved our communication with you so much as well! The band does their very best to make your day the most Memorable Ever and keep the guests on the dance floor all night long! That great Happy Energy feeling is what great memories are made of, right! What an Awesome Wedding energy all you brought as well!!!!!
    Hopefully, this wont be the last time we see you and maybe a friend will have us and we get to have more fun together sometime soon! Thank You Desiree!!!! :)

    Simply the BEST

    We love The Pictures! We have been lucky enough to have them at 2 weddings and 2 private events over the past several years. This band is energetic, talented, and so easy and fun to work with. Their music and performances are always crowd pleasing, managing to get people on the dance floor and everyone enjoying their music. They are wonderful people and just simply the BEST!

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    You are so awesome Cindy! Thank you very much for your glowing review! Performing for multiple family events has to be one of the highest compliments we could ever receive. It is always such a pleasure to work with you and means the world to us! Much Appreciated! Byron and The Pictures Band

    The perfect band for a magical night!

    Our wedding band, The Pictures, was more than just a group of musicians; they were close family friends who had a special connection to my grandmother before she passed. Having them perform at our wedding made the day all the more special.

    From the moment they started playing, it was clear that The Pictures were perfect for the occasion. Their music was lively, energetic, and had everyone on the dance floor in no time. They played a mix of classic hits and contemporary favorites, catering to everyone’s musical tastes and ensuring the night was magical.

    Throughout the entire planning process, The Pictures were professional, organized, and attentive to our needs. They worked tirelessly to bring our vision to life and made sure that every detail was taken care of.

    We cannot recommend The Pictures highly enough. They brought an energy and spirit to our wedding that we will never forget. If you are looking for a talented, professional, and special group of musicians for your wedding, look no further. Thank you for making our wedding day so unforgettable!

    (The) Pictures Pefect!

    After hearing this amazing ensemble at several events (weddings, restaurant venues and other special occasion events) throughout Texas, I knew that this band would someday play at my son's wedding. The minute we had a wedding date, I booked them! The Pictures brought their "A-Game" to my son's wedding reception (as expected). From the moment we booked this talented group to the private newlywed last dance, the band was perfect. They worked with the wedding planner, the bride & groom and the mother of the groom to make sure the song choices, the instruments and the venue setup were to our liking. Communication was easy and efficient , plus they offered great advice. Of course, the best part of the evening was when the music began! Their timing and interaction with the guests were spot on -- there was NEVER a lag or down time throughout the entire event. If ever you have the opportunity to have The Pictures at your event, do it! Thank you, Byron & Co., for making the post-nuptials such fun for everyone there!

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Oh Shelley, thank you so very much! I (we) sure appreciate such a glowing review! It was truly an honor to get to do yall's wedding reception! The hora was fun and everyone on the dance floor all night sure made it exciting. We certainly 'vibe' off the guests as do or best to spread JOY and the energy was Fantastic! It was special getting to work with you and our lovely couple throughout the process. Becky w Pearl Events was also great as always! It makes me most happy to know we made Y'all happy! Gratefully, Byron and The Pictures Band

    Picture perfect

    Byron and the Pictures were amazing. They are all expert musicians with an astounding depth. They crossed genres effortlessly to meet our demanding playlist as well as conspired for a special surprise with my wife- ask Byron-
    They were so impressive my wife’s daughter has hired them for her wedding- there’s just no other comparison

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Kirby for you thoughtful review! It was great working to create the surprise first dance. To see her eyes was such a moment I wont forget! I feel we became friends throughout this process as well! I feel very blessed to be involved with such a Joyful event! Looking forward to Camille's wedding now! I sure do appreciate you and your family! - Gratefully, Byron and THE PICTURES BAND

    Great Experience

    We hired The Pictures Band for the Longview Sesquicentennial Ball! They were great to work with and built their show around our many requests and different elements that we had happening throughout the night! They were also very interactive with our guests! Great entertainment!

    The Pictures Band's reply:

    Love your review Lori! Our new orchestra is so happy to be in such demand and we really try hard to make everything fit your vision, so that means the world to us! The dancing horns and entire band on the dancefloor seemed to be a big hit, so thanks for the compliment!!! Grateful for all your hard work at making it such a success as well!

    Best band ever

    I have loved this band for 20 years and when I was planning my wedding at 45 years old I jokingly said to a friend “ how awesome would it be if I could get The Pictures to play at my wedding“ well guess what? I did. And they were fabulous. They were professional, they were friendly, they had the entire crowd up dancing, even my 80-year-old stepdad. No lie! I can tell you with confidence if you hire them for your wedding you will not regret it. Byron, the manager was a great communicator. He would email me just to touch base. If I could give them 100 stars I would

    Congratulations! Oh Melanie, I am so happy for y'all! What an honor it was to hear this story that you have seen us over a majority of our career and get to perform for y'all! We all had such a fantastic time and it was so special getting to know you along the way too. I really appreciate that you were so down to earth and fun to communicate with as well :) Hopefully we will get to see y'all again at maybe a holiday party or something! Congrats again!

    I have hired The Pictures Band for multiple celebrations over the past few years…the first time being my wedding. They are SO.MUCH.FUN!!! If you have an opportunity to hire them or just to hear them publicly, I HIGHLY recommend them. An absolute blast and so nice to work with as well. Cheers!
