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 w...
ith our guests! Great entertainment!
Response from the Vendor on 02/25/2020
Amazing and thoughtful review Lori! I sure do appreciate the opportunity to show you what our orchestra can do w the strings and dancing horns! :) Having the Governor come to speak was really incredible too! Thank You so much for the hard work ...
you put into making it a success as well!!!! :) <3
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.
Response from the Vendor on 11/18/2019
Fantastic review Ashley! We are so grateful you chose us as your band! You were also a dream to work with and everything went so smoothly. We love performing at Beth Yeshurun too! Your dad, Greg, was a pleasure to work with as well and I hope ...
he was happy too! I hope we get to see you at another event down the road if maybe a bridal party person gets married and considers having us! Congratulations again Ashley and Mitch! Thanks again!- Byron and The Pictures Band
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!
Response from the Vendor on 10/16/2019
You really made my day Vivian! It means so very much to know we hit a home run because this is our full-time job/ career. Feels like we became good friends over this year as we worked on your planning together and I am over the moon with the gr...
eat results! It was so fun watching the horns/singers entertain the crowd at their tables early on and then bring them to the dance floor and keep it pcked for the rest of the evening! The Hora was awesome with so many people participating! Thank You for the confidence to hire us and prove ourselves to you! It means the world to us all!!! Gratefully, Byron and THE PICTURES BAND
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 floo...
r 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.
Response from the Vendor on 08/06/2019
Super duper appreciate your review Tonya! Congratulations again! The entire band really tries to go the extra mile and make sure everyone is on the dance floor! They have newly incorporated so many interactive elements, so I am so glad it made ...
a big splash! It was so nice working together and I want to give you so much credit for making that many details come together for an incredibly beautiful wedding! Thank You!-Byron and THE PICTURES BAND
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!
Response from the Vendor on 07/09/2019
Thank you for that review Daryl! Recently the band all got wireless capabilities, so they can all go out and dance a party with the guests (such a hoot)! Having the fiddle also gave a nice ability to go a little more country direction when n...
eeded (Copperhead Road, Orange Blossom special, etc). Your family was so nice and such a pleasure getting to know along the way. That means a lot to me in helping understand just exactly what you all envision for that special day! Please remember us when you have your next party and maybe we might even see ya if a bridesmaid or groomsman gets married! Thank You! - Byron and THE PICTURES BAND
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!
Response from the Vendor on 05/31/2019
Merilee, it was so Fun working together on your vision and overjoyed with your review of our band and myself. So lovely getting to know you through the process as well. Our passion is to be the best wedding reception band and are trying in ever...
y way we know how to help in creating the Best Day of Your Life! A huge Thank You and hope a friend will also have us or something, so maybe will see y'all again!
Working with Byron and The Pictures Band was a complete pleasure. Celebrating the wedding of our daughter and son-in-law, they had the dance floor packed and ended the final set with cries of "just one more" from the predominantly 20-something...
crowd. The Band provided a Jazz trio for the cocktail portion of the night followed by the full Band with dinner music and then later with dance music … they learned two special request songs on relatively short notice, adding to their already extensive playlist. Everyone had a great time!
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2019
Appreciate the detailed review so very much. I believe potential brides/grooms really need that to help decide on bands, so thanks a bunch. It feels like we got to know each other talking on the phone a bit and it was really enjoyable working o...
n this with you. The band tries to always go the extra mile and are so happy you all were so happy with the result! The singers/ horns really have a great time interacting with the guests as well. Wow yes, they loved the 90s stuff too! Gratefully, Byron and THE PICTURES BAND
The Pictures Band is the best!! Gosh, they were so good!! Byron their manager is so good at communicating and I always felt as if I was in good hands. I feel like he is one of my friends now, I love him! We got so many compliments on our band a...
nd everyone had an absolute blast. My husband recommended some 90's throwback songs and they played them and everyone went WILD!! They were super interactive too - the horns were in the crowd, main singers in the crowd. It was SO MUCH FUN!! We couldn't have asked for a better time. I highly recommend them!! They really did bring down the house.
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2019

We could not be happier with The Pictures Band. They are terrific musicians and great entertainers. Chris and Byron really listened to what we wanted for our celebration. We are in our 50s and 60s and our guests ranged from little cousins to ne...
arly 80 year old fellow retirees who have been to their fair share of very nice parties. In addition, several are musicians themselves. We heard nothing but high praise from everyone. Hire this band! They will not disappoint!
Response from the Vendor on 05/20/2019
Amy, that means the world to us to hear such a glowing review! Since we do this Full Time (many bands are weekend warriors), so it is so rewarding to have you all really enjoy these dedicated bunch of guys/gals we have in the band! Never gonna ...

The Pictures Band was incredible! From the first song until the last, this band brought so much energy and talent to our 4 hour wedding reception! The dance floor was always full!
I received so many compliments from my guests stating how aw...
esome and fun the band was. I highly recommend this band for I know they will not disappoint.
Response from the Vendor on 05/08/2019
Overjoyed is how I felt reading your review Michelle! This family based band do this full time as a career and so it means the world to us. You were so nice to work with and everyone in y'all's families were amazing! We so appreciate your kind...
ness and generosity! Maybe one of the brides maids will get married and we will get to see you again :) Congratulations Again!
The Pictures Band did an amazing job at our wedding at the Wildflower Center in S Austin. They worked hard to get all their equipment setup during the tight window provided by the venue. When it was their time to shine, shine they did. Excellen...
t sound quality, so much so that many guests asked, "Where did you find these guys?" as if The Pictures Band was a famous band passing through Austin on tour and I just talked them into showing up at the wedding somehow. Also, I can't say enough how important it is that they play so many Central TX weddings. Their experience is helpful as they've played most popular wedding venues numerous times and have a sense for when to play what types of music during different times of the event. Lastly, they are responsive and easy to book.
I checked out many bands live before making the decision to hire The Pictures Band. Glad I put the time in. It was a magical night that I'll never forget, and they made a wonderful contribution!
Response from the Vendor on 05/03/2019

Byron and THE PICTURES BAND
We used the Pictures Band for our wedding in January, and they were the life of the party! A few years back, my husband saw The Pictures at an event, and he said 'when we get married, we HAVE TO use this band.' I could not say enough great thin...
gs about this band. Their prompt responses, followed by their enthusiastic planning (when we weren't even on top of things), followed by their awesome attention to detail and organization--everything was perfect. Last brag on them has to be their ability to read the crowd. Every guest gave us rave review about how much fun the band was! We owe them a huge thank you for the big role that they played in such a special day.
Response from the Vendor on 02/20/2019
Congratulations again Kelsey and Christian! Awesome review and everyone appreciates you two for how easy going and friendly you made the process for us as well. It was such a pleasure preparing the details with yall. You know it is a success wh...
en you feel you have made new friends through the months and weeks of planning. Thank You and hope to see y'all again if one of your bridesmaids or someone also hires us for their wedding! I think Amanda said that might be possibly the case. Either way, we are so grateful for your kindness and generosity!
My daughter hired this band for her wedding and they were FANTASTIC! Easy to work with, showed up on time, performed their hearts out, made the reception a lively party and had people dancing who haven’t danced in years!!! I would most definite...
ly recommend The Pictures Band without hesitation!
Response from the Vendor on 02/05/2019
Wow Thank You so much Robin! Overjoyed that everyone stayed in the dance floor all night long! That was FUN and we really appreciate your trust in choosing us to be your band!
When we were planning our wedding, we were so fatigued at hearing the SAME SONGS at every wedding. Then we came across the Pictures. They had a lot of 80s hits that included the songs we *actually* liked -- Jessie's Girl, The Outfield, and Tak...
e On Me, etc. Perfect. Sure enough, they were absolutely awesome.
To top it off, my husband was formerly a SoCal punk skater kid, so he loves Blink182 and 90's punk -- not typically on the set list for wedding bands. Nevertheless, the Pictures added some of his favorites and it was an unexpected highlight to the night.
The Pictures completely exceeded our expectations and several people told us they thought the band was the best they'd heard. The dance floor was packed and energetic all night. You can tell that they're doing what they love and are passionate about getting everything right. ps -- get the FULL BAND! You need the brass!
Response from the Vendor on 01/15/2019
Awesome that you were so Happy!!!! The band really tries to go the extra mile for you to be not only unique (we always use the same band members that have been together since childhood), but also play songs you like best and even learn songs to...
o! We have been together long enough to learn way more songs than most bands which gives us an advantage there as well. The horns make a great addition to the energy and big live sound and now (2/20/2019) we have added a new horn section that brings full choreography as well, so it brings great energy!! Thank you Madolyn so much for the Amazing review!!!!
Byron and THE PICTURES BAND
We could not have been happier with our decision to have the Pictures Band play at our wedding! From the very beginning, they were so responsive to all of our questions and extremely easy to communicate with. Their song list is excellent, and t...

we used them for two of our daughter's weddings and they are the best!
Response from the Vendor on 01/10/2019

! Thanks so much for hiring us! This is our full time job, so it means the world to us :)
In the past few months, I have attended two weddings where The Pictures Band rocked the house! They played such a wide selection of music and had the dance floors packed all night. I also hired the Pictures for our 40 year class reunion in Sept...
ember, and they played a lot of the hits from the 70’s and 80’s, as well as the current hits and dance craze music. We ended up having them play an extra set because no one wanted to leave. Their song list is so comprehensive and one is sure to find exactly what fits their taste. They are complete professionals who always bring their A Game. I highly recommend them for your wedding, your class reunion or any other event where great music is a must! Please feel free to call me at 830-660-7755 if you have any questions.

ned. I never dreamed that the range of your selections would be so broad and wonderfully performed. The audience participation was fantastic and I’ve never received so many positive compliments. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO ANYONE, and if I could give you more than a five star rating I would gladly do so. Please accept my heartfelt “thanks”!

nature that made everything so smooth and FUN!!!
What a great band! You will not be disappointed if you choose them to play at your event. They played for my daughters wedding reception this weekend. The Band had good energy and did a great job on engaging the audience. The dance floor wa...
s full all night. The Bride and Groom got to come on stage with them for a song and they could not have been more gracious. They even did a good job covering the Neil Young song that we chose for our Father/Daughter Dance, a tune that had to be well outside their usual repertoire. They worked hard and their breaks were only long enough for the audience to catch their breath.
The price was reasonable and the contract was clear. I have no reservations about recommending this Band.
Response from the Vendor on 10/22/2018
Thank you Mark for the Fantastic review! Looks like everyone had such a Blast and wow it was so Memorable with how everything happened. The biggest goal is to keep the dance floor packed all night long and it was exciting to watch every age out...
dancing together! The guests loved seeing them up onstage with us jumping around and having a great time!
The band was happy to learn your first dance songs and had a great time playing the Neil Young songs too! Our singer kept singing it as we were packing up (very catchy)! You all were so nice and wonderful to work with too and we are grateful and honored to have been your band! :)
Byron and The Pictures Band
Music for my wedding was really important to me. I read many reviews just like this to make my decision. Let me just say that hiring The Pictures was one of the best vendor decisions I made for my big day. They sounded amazing, were extremely p...
rofessional, and were very accommodating. All of my guests said The Pictures helped make our wedding day unforgettable and really fun! Don't bother looking anywhere else- just hire The Pictures... you won't regret it!
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2018

o, so I Appreciate that compliment especially :) Also, we know there are many vendors to choose and juggle and we are over the moon that you'd say we were one of the best vendor choices. So Thank You Michelle! That really is Special to hear! We were so Honored to get to perform for you!
I can not begin to say enough great things about this group. First, they were one of the easiest vendors to work with. They were always available to answer questions or give information, and on top of that, they are some of the kindest people w...
e encountered in the wedding industry. This group strives to ensure that they understand exactly what type of music and environment you want for your reception and are willing to do anything to make that happen for you. Their song list is one of the most impressive I’ve seen and they were able to read our reception crowd to make it the exact kind of party we had in mind! I truly can’t find one negative thing about this group and cant recommend them enough!! To the band, Thank you for making our night one that we will never forget!
Response from the Vendor on 08/20/2018

! Hug everyone for us :)!!!!! Thank YOU, Byron
I saw them play at my friend's wedding and the band was absolutely on point! One of the singers actually made me cry. They were superb. They had a lot of variety and made me dance and I don't like dancing.
Response from the Vendor on 08/15/2018
You are so kind so give us those incredible compliments. To say they brought you to tears, is wonderfully moving and appreciated. Thank you! We hope to see you at another event soon! :) - Byron

e added plus was I mentioned the song my dad and I wanted to dance to; the band didn’t know it, but learned it just for my wedding. How amazing is that?!
If you are looking for a phenomenal band that will get all your guests out on the dance floor, look no further. I highly recommend The Pictures to everyone!

Wow!
Hi Kaitlen!
We sure are grateful for your wonderful compliments!
We sure try to go the extra mile and learn songs for you so your first dances can all be "Live" and not recorded versions. We all so appreciate your being so fantastic to ...
work with too! Congratulations again!!!!
Loved having The Pictures be apart of our wedding day! What attracted us to them was their broad range of music - from country, to pop, to oldies -- we wanted something all our guests would enjoy. It was hard to find a band that did everything ...
PLUS country, and this band was it! They were even able to add a fiddle player. Byron was THE most accommodating and truly wanted to make sure my vision came to life, and it did -- They sounded great, looked great, and on top of it all were just such nice people! Everyone was on the dance floor having a good time the whole night --
Would most definitely recommend The Pictures to anyone.
Response from the Vendor on 03/14/2018
Wow, Thank you so much Emily!!! I really enjoyed working with you on everything from not using the big lighting (we used the little hanging lights to create genuine barn dance feel)to adding the fiddle and adding country music along with all ou...
r other oldies and current songs too! You were a delight to work with and so nice and friendly. It was a pleasure to see it all come together like that! :)
We booked The Pictures for my daughter's wedding and are so happy we did - it was the perfect choice. I had attended another wedding where they played and knew they were a great band. My daughter and son-in-law wanted a wider range of music f...
rom country to current and I wasn’t sure if they would be a good fit but they were fantastic. They are so versatile and their play list is very extensive. They were so easy to work with throughout the whole process – it was obvious they wanted to help make the event exactly what the bride and groom wanted. Throughout the evening and since the wedding, guests keep talking about the great band. They kept the energy high the entire evening and the dance floor was full until the end of the wedding – I know everyone would have enjoyed more time. I can’t say enough great things about this band – they helped set the tone for the wedding and kept it fun all night long!

Thank You Dana for the nice compliments! We play every style of music and so we enjoy being able to focus it to specifically fit this dream wedding. You are so nice and made it fun and easy to create together! We aim to please and create the pe...
rfect playlist for the bridal party, family and guests! Thank you so much again!
After countless search for the perfect band, we came across The Pictures Band and picked them for our event. And they did not disappoint – they were fantastic! They were so good that I booked them for two different events the following year.
...
Byron and the band are so easy to work with. Byron is very responsive to emails and genuinely a nice guy! The Pictures Band are total professionals and they know how to get folks on the dance floor. They dress great and sound great! I love working with these guys!

The Pictures Band played for our daughter's wedding and they were absolutely FABULOUS! From our first contact via telephone and email, they were responsive, eager to help and excited to deliver. We booked the 8 piece band that included 2 horns....
They played wonderful dinner music and then all the hits during the reception. There was great energy and our guests danced all night long and everyone commented on how fantastic they were. They delivered 100% and we couldn't be any happier and highly recommend them. Thank you so very much! OUTSTANDING!
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2018
WOW! Thank you Nadine! We enjoyed performing for you all and so very much appreciate the wonderful review! Maybe we will see you again at another event sometime! :)

The Pictures are a GREAT wedding band! When they were playing, people were dancing, which is the way it ought to be!

If I could have only selected one vendor for my wedding, this would have been it. The Pitcures single-handledly made the evening an unforgettable party for everyone there! Extremely interactive, great at reading the crowd, and highly talented a...
s well. Played an impressive set, ranging from former decades to current top hits.
Byron (the liaison/band member that we dealt with during the planning) was so incredibly friendly, and also quite helpful when we asked for advice. Also, the band was more than happy to learn a new song for our first dance (and did a great job performing it!).
Truly excellent. This, hands down, will be your best purchase if you select them for your event.
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2018

When we first got engaged, the first call we made was to The Pictures to see if they were available. We had seen them perform before and knew we wanted to have them for our wedding.
The Pictures Band is a professional band at a highly reaso...
nable price. I honestly believe that the band could charge double for their talent and entertainment value. They do a wide variety of music, and they are very good at it! My grandparents loved the old-school, classic music for dinner and then my friends loved the upbeat music for dancing. This band is so very talented and really made the evening amazing. They even learned our first dance song on their own. It was not on their set list, but they took the time to learn the song and executed it flawlessly. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2018
Wow! We sure do appreciate you! Thanks for the incredible compliments! Hope to see you at another event soon!

The Pictures are the ULTIMATE wedding band. From the very beginning, we envisioned a total party atmosphere of a reception - where no one would be in their seats because they were up dancing. The Pictures were key in making that vision come tru...
e. Our families, friends, videographers and photographers all commented on how it was one of the few weddings they've been to where literally everyone was up dancing. From Earth Wind and Fire to 80s favorites to current hits, the Pictures are experts at it all. At least six people have asked us who are band was to hire them at their weddings. I could not have asked for a more fabulous band!
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2018
Having everyone on the floor all night is our goal and thanks for writing to let us know. We are very grateful!

olutely amazing!" I couldn't agree more. The band coordinator's responsiveness with planning before the wedding was great as well. I couldn't recommend The Pictures more, and I'm sure many of my friends will be using them in the future.

AMAZING and you should BOOK THEM!!! We hired The Pictures to play at our wedding this July and they were fantastic! During dinner they played classic music at a nice level. People could hear the music but were still able to talk. The first song...
that they played post dinner had everyone on the dance floor! Nobody left the dance floor until the lights went on at the end of the night. At one point I looked around and there were laser beams, from their light display, going around the room and smoke coming up from the stage, also provided by them, and I felt like I was at a concert! I am still so impressed with their level of skill and professionalism that I can hardly believe they were actually at my wedding. They were so good I can hardly believe it. My 90 year old grandma loved them, my 60 year old parents loved them and my 30 year old friends loved them! BOOK THEM!!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2018

can play a remarkable range of music--from Vegas-style to rock and roll country etc. And they are able to transition between styles flawlessly. Our guests have raved and raved about the band. We've had guests request their information to hire them for their own parties. The Pictures got every single guest on the floor dancing. We couldn't have been happier with the band.

when the dance floor can stay full and keep flowing with the momentum. As far as the songs, we are able to learn almost every song asked of us, but that time we couldn't learn it. Please know that 99% of time we are able to do so and as you see, no one else has made that claim, so it isn't something we did cavalierly. We sincerely try to do everything to make you happy. I so appreciate you giving us the 5 stars, because your happiness IS very important to us.

ave only these two reviews in a row back in 2007 when we were unable to learn your song. We had a major health issue (life and death) and the band struggled to make these receptions happen at that time (not cancel). After making it through the surgery etc and on the other side now and want to sincerely apologize for that not happening for you. We try so hard to be everything you want in a band and I feel we let you down about the song, so please forgive us if you can.
