A great performance

We hired David to play piano at my daughter’s engagement party. We asked him to play a more popular repertoire and he delivered exactly what we asked. He was very punctual and was responsive to any questions we had. I would not hesitate to hire David for another event.

Wander Duo played for our fundraiser, and they're amazing.

I am with the Knights of Columbus, and we had the Wander Duo play for our annual dinner fundraiser "Italian Night". The duo's music was amazing for the entire night. They played a wide variety of Italian and dinner music, with the piano, accordion, violin, and their singing. When they wandered through the dinner they had tables clapping and singing along to their music, and knew how to work the crowd. After the dinner we had our guests fill out a survey, and the majority said their favourite part if the night was the music.

I would highly recommend the Wander Duo and David for any event you're having. They're great musicians and wonderful people. Thank you David!

Incredible

What an absolute pleasure it was to have Wonder Duo play at our wedding. Warm, welcoming, energy, fun and just two absolutely wonderful people. Our guests commented how beautifully they played and sang. They were without a doubt a highlight of our wedding. While I was off getting the wedding photos done I could hear their music coming from the cocktail hour location. At times myself and the bridal party were dancing even though we were quite a ways away from them. Guests also commented how lovely it was that they would walk around the venue to guests, even at their last song for the night they came up to the head table and serenaded myself and my new husband. I truly look forward to having them celebrate future events with us. Tom and David thank you with all my heart for helping making our day extra special. I would give 1000 stars if I could.

We hired David for my father’s 60th birthday party and he did not disappoint! David played wonderfully and chose songs that got everyone clapping and singing along. He is a very talented accordion player and we enjoyed how well he engaged with the audience. David was a good communicator prior to the event and was very punctual. Many of our guests were asking for his contact information and we hope to be booking him again for future events. Thank you for making our party so special, David!!!

A classy addition to a wedding

I was looking for someone to play at my daughter's wedding. We were't exactly sure what we wanted. We ended up booking him and a violinist (known as the Wandering Duo). They played during the on-site ceremony which was lovely and also during the cocktail hour. Dealing with David from the beginning was easy. He's professional, has a huge repertoire and accommodated all our requests. Absolutely a pleasure to deal with and would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend. Thank you to you both for a job well done.

David played the accordion for my mothers surprise party, he played such amazing songs, he also did requests which was fantastic. David played a mix of older Italian songs and Coldplay/drake/backstreet boys, he really knew how to please the entire audience. Everyone was so happy with his performance, he made our evening perfect. David included the audience and everyone sang together and created wonderful memories. Thank you again David !

Short and sweet.

On less than a day’s notice we hired David for a 15-minute surprise serenade at a restaurant. Our primary song was already in his repertoire, and he has managed to rehearse and perform our second request. David brilliantly improvised the remaining music to match the mood - people got up and danced… even the owner of the restaurant.

This was my first experience with GigSalad… what an easy way to make such great memories.

Absolutely awesome!!!

David's performance at the event was exceptional. Playing the accordion outside, in freezing temperatures and snow, was extremely difficult, but very well done and appreciated. David introduced himself at the start of the event, spoke about each song he was about to play, sang while playing, and topped off the 90th birthday event by playing and singing Happy Birthday for dad, and for mom who watched the event from inside the building. A few relatives also watched from outside and inside, and also remarked about how great David was. The manager, some staff and other residents at the Long Term Care home also watched some of the event, and feedback from them was also extremely positive. Absolutely everyone enjoyed David's extraordinary efforts to make the event a memorable one. Allowing family to take a few pics and videos for keepsake, was also extremely appreciated. David was absolutely awesome, and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a terrific and very talented musician. Thank you Dave, from me, Dad, Mom, family and friends!!!

David is the BEST!!

Musician and performer extraordinare, David Skolnick, not only brings the party, he IS the party!! He brought not only his myriad musical and singing talents to elevate our Tuscan - themed event, but also communicated fantastic suggestions, was open to ideas, and then brought the house down with an incredibly fun mix of both Italian classics on the accordion, and modern covers of Drake!!
He made an already joyous occasion infinitely more festive and memorable. Can’t recommend him enough, or wait to hire him again!

David was a perfect fit for our event. This was a concert that our church was hosting with a musical group from the Iranian community to remember those who lost their lives on Flight 752 in January. David has a wide repertoire and helped us choose some songs that were a good fit for the evening, including one song that he sang in Farsi. He has a great signing voice and, of course, complete mastery of the piano. I highly recommend him.

As a parent you pray everything turns out after so much planning and listening to these two young men made me cry.

Absolute perfection!

The Wander Duo played at our wedding. They were absolutely perfect! The music was beautiful, with a great repertoire, and was just the right background - we knew it was there, but it didn’t drown out the conversation. All our guests commented on how lovely the Duo played (and I must say, their version of The Godfather Theme was even better than the original).

David couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating to us. The Duo showed up early and knew exactly where to go and what to do. I cannot recommend them more!

David and George played at our wedding and they were fantastic. David sang for us in English, Hebrew and Spanish, playing songs we'd requested, and working off the crowd. They even learned a traditional Colombian song for us. David is also super clear in his communications, and responds quickly to phone calls and emails. Many thanks to you both for your good energy and talent - everyone had a blast.

Fantastic wedding ceremony music

David and George were excellent for my wedding ceremony. They skillfully played a new piece that I asked them to learn and were exceptional in their ability to make the music flow with different parts of the ceremony. Hire them and you will not be disappointed.

Sensational Duo!

The Wondering Duo performed for my mom's 70th birthday and they were spectacular! Not only were they able to cater to guests of all ages and backgrounds, but they performed all genres of music from classical, Italian, Spanish, Tangos, Waltzes to pop, jazz, rock and roll. They took requests and serenaded the guest of honour as well as our other guests. Everyone was made to feel special. A talented duo that brought life and entertainment to the party. Thank you David and George for making this event joyous and memorable!

David and George played for my husband's 50th birthday party. From the first contact point to the last minute of the event, David was very professional, responded quickly, punctual, friendly and a pleasure to work with. With George as his partner on this day, they had prepared a variety of songs of different languages to entertain our guests from 10 different countries. With David's talent and George's worldly experience, it was a real pleasure to have them play at our event and get to know them. If only the evening had gone on forever ......

I saw all the very good reviews about David and that is the reason i contacted him for our party.I scheduled a rehearsal with David before my performance! During our rehearsal, David instantly became my musical arranger for my song selection and I am very impressed! During my party the guests enjoyed watching him perform too, He played so well and that's why we had audience participation. He is a total entertainer! David will definitely play again for my next party!

Worth Every Penny

When I first contacted David, I had seen his video clips and thought he'd be perfect for my mom's birthday celebration. He was so much better than I expected. He's easy going, very personable, and extremely interactive with his audience. His knowledge of songs and music in general is fantastic. Add to that, his knowledge of languages. What a treat! If you are considering adding musical content to your event, I highly recommended David.

Fantastic musician & entertainer! overwhelmingly

David is a highly talented and engaging musician with an amazing repertoire and skill. David played accordion and sang old time hits and favorites by request, for our 75th birthday party. (We have heard about his piano and teaching abilities and would encourage others to engage him for those skills) He was extremely responsive, adaptable and accommodating. I would absolutely recommend David ( and his partner) for any type of event or gig and will definitely keep his contact information on hand. Thanks David! You were a FANTASTIC addition to a great weekend.

He was great to communicate with leading up to the day, we picked three special songs for bridal party entrance, during the registry signing and to exit to.

An amazing 60th Birthday Experience!

The exceptionally talented Dynamic Duo, David and George, did a fantastic job providing entertainment and background music for us at my husband's 60th birthday party. Our guests enjoyed their diverse repertoire ranging from classical music to contemporary hits. They were also able to perfectly adjust their volume so that people could both enjoy listening to the music but were also able to socialize amongst themselves without struggling to hear conversations. I would highly recommend the Dynamic Duo to anyone who wants to add an extra special dimension to their event.

They will make sure your guests are having fun whether they're asked to provide background music or interact. They can do both. They are talented and are able to provide a wide repertoire of music styles and they will accommodate whatever theme/atmosphere you need. I recommend them for any special event.

Class Musician

Recently had David and one of his friend violists play at a birthday party for my mother.

Given that a bunch of 70 year olds found the need to get up to dance and sing speaks volumes about their talents.

As my father said, the highlight of the party was the music and their ability to entertain the guests.

Definitely recommend them if you are looking for professionals to play your event, large or small.

Truly Amazing!!!

We had tremendous pleasure of having David and George play violin, piano and accordion at my dad's birthday party in late October 2015.

It was a last-minute decision and David and George did an amazing job preparing not only a long list of songs we requested just 3 days before the date, but they also prepared many songs that matched the style of music we asked for.

They not only met our expectations, but exceeded them!!!
Knowing that the crowd was 90% Polish - they prepared a surprise performance of Polish songs including Polish “Happy Birthday” songs to my dad. To which most of the guests sang-along & had lots of fun!!

The whole crowd was amazed and very pleased with their performance and enthusiasm.

They're very professional and can "read the crowd" on what they would like to hear.

I would highly recommend David and George for any type of occasion - small or big - they're amazing, truly gifted musicians, great team and will go out of their way to make the event very special.

Big thanks to the "Wander Duo"!! Incredible job!! You made my dad's birthday so much more special with your music!!!
It made the whole evening!!! Thank you!

I hosted a Birthday party for my daughter's 40th birthday party.
I thought a nice touch would be to have a piano player and maybe sing some songs along with him. . Guests finally warmed up and we had a lot of fun singing and listening to David play and sing. Oldies are goodies. Great time had by all!!

Book them!

I found the Wandering Duo only a week before my wedding, and they were very accommodating by enthusiastically agreeing to participate in the celebration. David is very professional, and the duo was a fantastic addition to the celebration. In retrospect, we should have booked them for the entire night instead of just 2 hours, as all of our guests were very upset to not have them the whole night. The repertoire of music was vast, and they accommodated our Greek, Italian and Swedish (ABBA!!!) requests without blinking. Not expensive at all, and if budgeting is an issue, skip the fancy centrepieces and bombonierie (or whatever else will end up in the garbage a week later), and book David and the Wandering Duo!!!!

When David offered to learn 2.5 hours of new music for us, we weren't quite sure how well he would do, but he exceeded our expectations! Every song was played wonderfully and faithfully, and the guests seemed to enjoy it as well. While the price may be a bit higher than others, you definitely get what you pay for with David. I would definitely recommend him to friends!

Talented musician, attentive and personable

Being musicians ourselves, my husband and I were very careful to select musicians to play at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour on June 20, 2015. After I found David online and we spoke on the phone a few times, I knew that I was in the most capable (and talented) hands. David performed piano during both our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, along with his guitar player Leo.

David's music repertoire is vast; he is able to perform all types of genres, and he also took any special song request that I had. It was so special to have live music during the ceremony, and although we hadn't rehearsed with David prior to the big day, he was always on cue. He was so attentive and caring, and it was obvious he was equally invested in delivering a seamless ceremony.

I have received so many compliments from our wedding guests about David's music during the ceremony and during the cocktail hour. Not sure if we'd have a sunny day, we had asked David prior to the wedding to setup in a room inside the venue. We were lucky to have a bright, sunny day; and David and Leo had no problems adjusting their set up to be outside. They played beautifully for about an hour and a half without pause. Their music created the most wonderful and joyful atmosphere during cocktail hour.

I highly recommend David's piano services for any event. He is an excellent communicator and responded to all of my questions promptly, both by email and phone. He is friendly, personable, and an extraordinarily talented musician.

Great Entertainment!

We hired David to play the accordion at my husband's 60th birthday party. My husband is of Italian heritage so we asked him to play Italian songs. He brought along a violinist and the two of them played a variety of Italian songs as well as taking requests from the guests for other songs. Everyone at the party enjoyed the entertainment that they provided. We had a great party and felt that the music David provided helped make the party a success. I would not hesitate to hire David again.

David played classic french music on the accordion for our son's birthday celebration. He comfortably contributed accordion to the musical guest before him and it was beautiful, playing back up on Neil Young's Harvest Moon. He was friendly and moved into role of musical guest with ease. David's presence was warm as he moved about the guests while beautifully and expertly playing the accordion. Can't wait to have another celebration and have him back!

At the last minute, I had contacted David to perform at my wife’s 40th birthday party. David was more than accommodating and took the time to understand musical preferences and nature of the event.

David arrived to the party on time and began performing. The guests and I were taken aback by David’s diverse repertoire and skill. I will definitely hire David again and will more-than-likely have him provide piano instruction for my children.

I connected with David as I was looking for someone local to play live music at a bank. Yes; a bank. At TD, we're always thinking of new ideas to better our customer experience, and live music was something we thought we would try to do that. Our customers loved his song selection, and his talent. David was also great to work with. He followed through on all the expectations he set with me, was on time, and very professional. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a talented pianist to play at a public event. David, once again, thank you for working with us at the TD Creditview and Britannia branch.

We hired David on very short notice when our pianist fell through for our wedding reception. David came through and did an amazing job playing Top 40 piano hits until we decided to turn to salsa music. He quickly improvised and played along with the upbeat music. He was a hit, our guests loved him. He is professional, punctual and we'd highly recommend him to anyone in need of some live piano music.

Trained classically on the piano from age 7, David began to expand his repertoire to jazz, pop, rock and bossa nova in high school. Throughout university and beyond, David loved exploring music from other cultures, such as klezmer, salsa, Turkish folk, and French chanson.
