The Pictures 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!!!

This band will forever be remembered for contributing to our special wedding day, and being absolutely incredible. They played a wide variety of genre and tunes, built a very lively and entertaining atmosphere, and were made us, the bride and groom, feel so special and part of their performance. Will be a forever fan and supporter

As the bride, the two comments I heard the most after my wedding was that my dress was beautiful and our band ROCKED! If you want to have the BEST wedding ever, with the most energetic and magical band - then you should book The Pictures Band ASAP! Our wedding party never wanted to leave the dance floor. They played a variety of decades, genres, and accommodated all of our special requests - even changing the tempo of a typically fast paced song for our first dance song. They even brought my fiancé on stage to “play” an instrument. Byron and the team are the best out there - incredible musicians and incredible people.

The Pictures did a phenomenal job performing at our wedding. They were easy to work with and brought a lot of energy to our dance floor. They knew how to read the room and performed songs that got all guests (regardless of age) involved. Highly recommend!

We were so impressed how many different songs they nailed for our wedding. They also went out of there way to learn a special song for the father/daughter dance on short notice! Made the dance portion of the night too 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 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!

We have hired The Pictures Band twice. The first time for an event at the Bob Bullock Museum for a crowd of mid-40 to 80 year old's--quite the age span. The guests still rave about The Pictures being the best band this particular organization has ever hired. Their song list is so extensive that you have no trouble pleasing everyone! Just hired them again a few weeks ago for our daughters wedding. Again, what a night. They read the crowd, keep the dance floor hopping and everyone ecstatic. They're just phenomenal all the way around. You will melt into their music and hope the night will never end.

The team was super responsive in the planning process, walked through our entire schedule to make sure everything lined up perfectly, and they even learned a new song for my husband and his mom to dance to!

We hired The Pictures Band for our daughter's wedding. They were fantastic! Byron was so friendly and communication prior to the wedding was easy. We received so many compliments on the band from our guests! They were a big hit! The vocalists have strong and fantastic voices, the instrumentalists were all exceptional and the energy the entire band projected was infectious. We highly recommend them!

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 was incredible at my wedding. Everyone was dance and moving all night couldn’t be happier. I have so many friends raving about how good they were. Will 100% recommend and be calling back.

Byron and The Pictures Band were amazing at our daughter's wedding! So nice, easy to work with and responsive throughout the entire process. They also provided the ceremony music via DJ. Most importantly, they were so much fun and got everyone dancing then entire night!! So many of our guests commented on how good the band was. I would highly recommend them!

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!

UNBELIEVABLE!! Our wedding was 4/15/23 and our guests did not stop dancing! They played music for everyone & kept the energy up the entire time! The music during the dinner was also so perfect. They exceeded our expectations!! Additionally, planning with Byron leading up to the wedding was a fantastic experience. This group his highly professional, energetic, and over the top talented! Our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing they were!! Thank you to The Pictures Band for the BEST night! We love y’all!

We found The Pictures back in 2004 and boy did we get lucky! From 2004-2023, they have given us wonderful music and performances for 2 weddings and 2 private events. This group is talented, a crowd pleaser, and just nice people! Their talent and energy always gets everyone on the dance floor. This group is beyond amazing and we love them!

Best wedding band ever!!!! Our venue said they had never seen the dance floor so crowded! They really know how to read a crowd and keep the party going!! Great stage presence and wonderful entertainers!! Glad I got the horns as well.

Picture PERFECT is exactly what THE PICTURES Band is! The minute my son had a wedding date on the calendar, I got in touch with this amazing band. I had been in attendance at several of their events and was (and still am) TOTALLY impressed with their talent and energy. From the initial phone call to the last dance, the entire process was so stress-free. The music, instruments and crowd interaction was incredible. All 150 guests were on their feet for the majority of the evening! There's absolutely no need to look for any other group!

Such a fun group!! They kept the music going and all our guest on the dance floor! Very entertaining, all our guest and us loves them!! Can’t recommend enough!!

This band was the ace in the hole to making my wedding outstanding and memorable. They played the perfect music for the age group of the guests, read the crowd and adjusted as the night got more lively, and were interactive and fun. The singer and every musician were top notch professionals, and they played their hearts out to the very end of the evening. There was always something great to dance to. Everyone, and I mean even the picky guests, commented on how great the band was. I saw people dancing that I have never seen dance before because the music was just so good. The Pictures Band truly helped solidify my wedding as the best day of my life.

These guys were amazing! We had many special request and they aced all of them. We loved them so much at our wedding my wife’s daughter has hired them for her wedding. Seriously can’t say enough good about Byron and the band.

The pictures band is amazing!! They are so easy to communicate with and are so easy to work with. They made our wedding dreams come true! They are so interactive with the crowd and played amazing songs!! Hire them you will not regret it!!

Our guests did NOT leave the dance floor!! The Pictures Band did an amazing job at keeping our guests on the dance floor and entertained! We received endless compliments from our guests all night long!! They definitely are high energy, fun and amazing!!!

The Pictures were a crucial part of our reception. They were willing to learn and perform to perfection a song that was important to us for our first dance. They kept the guests moving and had wonderful stage presence. Would HIGHLY recommend The Pictures for any event

Wow! Where to even start with our review! We loved every single part of working with them. From the very initial conversation to the day after the wedding. The warm and love you could feel from how much they truly love their jobs and how much they care about you is unmatched. The energy was high in the room the whole wedding, the ceremony music was done perfectly, the correspondence was always timely and professional and friendly. Almost every single person stayed the entire wedding until send off and we know that’s because our band was so awesome!! During the wedding and following after every guest could not stop raving about how incredible the band was and how fun our wedding was (because of them!), the pictures band was exactly what we were looking for in a wedding band and the next day we kept saying “wow what else could we book them for?” Because we didn’t want to leave that night and couldn’t stop thinking about how incredible the night was thanks to the talent and energy the band has. I highly recommend the pictures band, they even set us tons of photos the next day that they took, which was so special. Truly the most genuine and fun people.

The Pictures were INCREDIBLE! They were engaging and lively and knew what song to play and when to get everyone hyped up and dancing. They also accommodated last minute requests which we so appreciated! Our guests were raving about them all night long! Would hire this group again in an instant. Best part about them? In addition to being talented, they are sweet and genuine individuals as well! Highly highly recommend.

Words cannot even begin to describe how perfect the pictures were for our wedding!!! We still have wedding guests asking for their contact info to schedule them for their daughters future weddings! I had more guests come up after the fact and tell me they have never been to not just a wedding, but any kind of event before and love the band more. I heard more that was the best band we have seen at an event more than I can count. They had such a range from new songs to old and so everyone in the crowd was dancing. We had a specific first dance song we wanted, and they worked extra to have it learned and ready to go for our wedding - above and beyond! We were both incredibly pleased and would HIGHLY recommend the pictures band for a wedding - they are amazing!

WOW! The Pictures knocked it out of the park at our wedding! We had a total blast, and our guests were raving about them all night and at the farewell brunch the next day. Thank you to The Pictures for making our wedding reception unforgettable with your nonstop energy, talent, and enthusiasm!

The Pictures are the best band musically and easy to work with. They even learned two new songs for my daughter’s wedding. They engaged the crowd and the dance floor was full throughout the evening. My guests kept saying that the band was amazing. I highly recommend them.

The Pictures Band was everything we could have hoped for. Everyone was up dancing the night away. They played all types of music that was perfect for all ages. Byron is the best to work with. I still pinch myself that we were able to book them for our wedding.

The Pictures Band was the single most impactful investment we made in making our wedding reception the most enjoyable and memorable of receptions I've ever been to. Having been to parties with them before, I knew already that The Pictures repertoire spans the 80's through today, and from pop to country to hip-hop to hard rock. I knew that they know how to fill the dance floor, how to keep the energy level to the ceiling, how bring out the crowd and how to leave everyone at the end of the evening simply going, "Wow, that was great!!" For our reception, they did all of this and so much more. Because on top of all of that, they learned 2 new songs for us: a James Taylor song for the bride/groom first dance and a Thomas Rhett song for the father/daughter dance. They opened the floor with Taylor Swift and closed it with AC/DC. They must have played 30 or 35 songs, and the floor stayed full! During the night, Tori, one of the singers, even got down on the floor with us to lead us in some of the dancing! They closed the night with a special private dance for the bride and groom while their horns escorted the rest of us out for the send-off. (And by the way, those horns really added some serious icing to the music!) A wedding is more than the live music though. And those details really can consume a lot of effort in the planning of the event. For several months ahead of the big day, Byron Smith worked with me for hours to detail some of those. Chris, one of the singers, MC'd the reception entrances and helped out with the various toasts during the reception. They even provided sound equipment and Chris played pre-recorded music that we chose during the prelude of the wedding ceremony itself. So from well before the start to the absolute last note, you will simply not find a better partner than The Pictures Band to help make that day one that you and your guests will remember as one VERY special day. Thank you, Byron, Robin, Chris, Tori and the rest of The Pictures Band. You really helped make that day PERFECT!

Easy to work with, accommodating to what we wanted, many options to make the night just right. We definitely recommend going with the cocktail hour trio because it really added to the party and they were wonderful. Good mix of music, lots of compliments on the music and lots of dancing.

Extremely good at communication and were excellent during our wedding. All of our guests loved the music and the venue owner was pleased as well.

The Pictures Band performed at our son’s wedding nine years ago and we HAD to have them back for the wedding of our daughter last night. They blew us away again and our friends and family tore up the dance floor. Perfect song choices and flawless performances from every single member of the band. Now we just need an excuse to throw another party.

We could not have been happier with The Pictures! They made our wedding! They read the room so well and were able to keep almost 200 people on the dance floor the whole night. They played a great mix of classics and current songs, and the range of voices and instruments they used made the songs sound like the originals! We could not have asked for a more amazing wedding band.

The Pictures band was the highlight of our wedding reception! We selected the Pictures band because of their song list variety, which included both current and classic hits. We were blown away by the band’s ability to play such a wide array of songs (from current pop, country, classics, and rock)! Looking back now I wish that I had picked more rock songs because THEY WERE AWESOME!! Everyone was on the dance floor! The band was very easy to work with and was willing to accommodate to help the day run as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend the Pictures Band and hope to see them again sometime! Thank you for giving our family and friends a night to remember! :)

The Pictures is the band you want for your event. Your guests will be up on their feet all night long!

If I could just choose one word to describe the October Evening Wedding it would be- AMAZING!!! A huge part of that was due to the atmosphere created by The Pictures Band!!! It was electric… As a planner, I can honestly say that The Pictures know how to set the tone of the night’s reception in an uncommon way. The guests will still be talking about this one for a long time… Kindest Regards TH

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

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!

The Pictures Band, Austin, TX MADE our party night a huge success! Thank you TPB! You all were beyond expectations! They hung in there for an outdoor show in the Texas summer and never missed a beat! So much fun! We had heard them twice and knew they were the band we wanted. They worked with us beautifully and JOYFULLY and were seamless in their communications, prep and arrival! They came with special requests which they nailed! We recommend TPB all the way!!

The Pictures Band made our wedding go from fun to fantastic! Every song was terrific and the dance floor was packed. Their talent is amazing!

If we could give The Pictures 10 stars, we would!! They brought our wedding celebration to the next level! The band was fantastic to work with, their performance was top notch, and our guests have not stopped raving about them since the wedding!! We highly recommend The Pictures if you’re searching for a wedding band and cannot thank them enough for helping make our celebration so special!

We could not recommend The Pictures Band highly enough. Our wedding would not have been the same without them. Incredibly talented, fun, energetic, and a joy to work with. Their range is also simply incredible - they killed with Latin songs like Selena and with top hits from the 60s onward. So many of our guests came up to us afterward and asked how we found such an awesome band. Most of all, Byron and his bandmates were so pleasant to work with prior to the wedding, bringing great energy and making us feel completely at ease.

The band was so easy to work with, had great song selections, and they were what made our guests have the most fun on the dance floor!!!

Reached out to The Pictures Band 10 months before the wedding. Byron and Christopher responded within 24 hours and made the process so simple. We had them at our other daughter’s wedding and knew we had to jump on reserving this highly sought after band days after the proposal! The wedding was two days ago and I have received countless emails, texts, and phone calls saying it was the best party/celebration! (All due to the energy and the excitement The Pictures brought to the evening). They learned a new song for the bride and groom’s first dance, honored my daughter’s requests for entry song, father-daughter song with slight requested changes, cake cutting song, and final private last dance for the bride and groom. We contracted for their 8 piece band and they each were so accommodating and professional. The chairs were empty and the dance floor was jumping from start to finish. Absolutely no regrets! They made the wedding reception a party to remember!!

We hired The Pictures to perform for our daughter's wedding on May 1. Because of the pandemic we were not able to hear this band in person so we hired them based on YouTube videos and they were awesome! Super responsive to all our requests before the wedding and kept the crowd on the dance floor all night! We loved them!

We hired The Pictures to perform at our 3/19 wedding. Pre-event they were highly responsive and helped us navigate COVID and rescheduling our wedding date. The day-of, they arrived on time and even helped us facilitate our A/V for the ceremony. To say they were a highlight of our reception would be an understatement, everyone was raving about them after! We highly recommend The Pictures for your wedding or event. They really are a crowd-pleaser!

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.

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!

Holy ever loving wow! I am so glad that we had The Pictures Band perform for our wedding reception. From initial communication, they were so easy to work with and always responsive to questions. We gave them a pretty intense 'do not play' list (literally included the top 3 most popular wedding reception songs) and they steered clear - and no one missed them! They have so much talent; each member of the band brought their all and made the night such a blast. They hit the songs that I was dying to dance to at my wedding, kept the energy up and the dance floor full! (we rented a dance floor based on the recommended size for our guest list and we probably should have gone one size up with how many people were dancing for most of the night!) Would add stars if I could! They really helped make our night unique, special, and so much fun! Even our guests have commented about how great they were and how they were too busy on the dance floor, enjoying themselves instead of out at the photo booth or taking their own pictures.

Look no further! This is the band to make your party! They were right on the mark with music and got on the dance floor and interacted with guests. They learned the tune Tupelo Honey for the Father and Bride dance. The timing was messed up by the caterer and I was worried about the band's break and Byron, look me in the eyes, held my hands and said, " Don't worry, we're here for you", and the rest was history! Like I said, look no further, they will make your party!

The perfect wedding band! The Pictures Band performed for our son's wedding in August 2018 in Fort Worth and again for our daughter's wedding in July, 2019 in Dallas and they were just amazing! The band had every single guest on the dance floor as they really know how to read the crowd. They kept the crowd moving as the singers came down on the dance floor to sing and lead dances and a conga line! Hands down, the best wedding and event band we have ever seen! We would recommend them for any event that requires a great band and entertainment.

If you are looking for a band with a lot of energy, knows how to get everyone on the dance floor and engages with the audience The Pictures Band is the band for you. There was not a single song during the four hours they played where the dance floor was not packed!!! During several of the songs the band members found their way onto the dance floor to sing and dance with the audience as they played their instruments. This was the best party we have ever given and The Pictures Band was a huge part of the success. They were very accommodating with song requests and at the last minute were able to provide a sound system for the wedding ceremony. They were also quick to respond to any questions we might have. We will definitely book them again!

The Pictures Band was everything I had imagined for my wedding and SO MUCH MORE! They were extremely responsive and made me feel like their number one priority! They were able to learn a brand new song for our first dance! They played a little bit of everything which was so wonderful since a wedding crowd generally has a mixture of different ages! We received so many compliments after our wedding!! You will NOT be disappointed! The Pictures Band is the only band to choose for your wedding!
