David Skolnick

Last reviewed: August 9, 2026. Business status: Active.

David Skolnick is one wedding musician Mississauga couples can consider for live piano, accordion, guitar, ukulele and vocal music. His official site identifies him as a Mississauga-based musician available for weddings and other events, with performances offered solo or alongside additional musicians.

The published offering covers background music as well as more engaging entertainment, depending on the event. Couples can request music from classical, jazz and pop repertoires alongside selections associated with several languages and cultural traditions. This profile was last reviewed on August 9, 2026.

Services and specialization

David’s official performance page lists piano, accordion, guitar, ukulele and vocals. It also describes a repertoire spanning classical, jazz and pop, with French, Spanish, Italian, Jewish, Russian, Polish, German, Turkish, Bollywood, video-game, anime and Oktoberfest selections among the published examples.

Wedding-specific material is represented by a performance section titled “Popular Songs for Weddings.” David also states that he can learn a requested repertoire and may be able to play a song by ear when he has heard it before. Couples should still identify every required ceremony cue and confirm that each exact song and arrangement is available.

Performance formats and repertoire

David offers solo performances and works with additional musicians. The booking form names a violinist and a trio with violin plus bass or drums as possible add-ons. The separate Wander Duo offering pairs David with Dr. Tom Hamilton on violin, mandolin and vocals.

Published Wander Duo combinations include piano and violin, accordion and violin, and guitar and violin. The duo page also describes strolling violin-and-accordion entertainment around guests’ tables. That format may be relevant to a cocktail hour or reception, but couples should confirm where strolling is practical and permitted at their venue.

Service area and who it may suit

The official site says David is based in Mississauga and performs in Toronto, Vaughan, Brampton, Mississauga, the wider Greater Toronto Area and Niagara. He may travel to other venues when travel costs are allowed for. The Wander Duo page separately states that the duo is available to travel across Canada and internationally.

The offering may suit couples seeking a solo multi-instrumentalist, an instrumental or vocal duo, or a larger configuration. Its documented range may also be relevant when a wedding requires classical selections, contemporary songs or music connected with more than one cultural tradition. Suitability depends on the couple’s exact set list, venue rules and preferred level of guest interaction.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the range of available instruments and configurations rather than reliance on one fixed ensemble. David also states that he can supply a keyboard and amplifier when a venue has no piano. When a venue piano will be used, his site advises that it should have been tuned within the year.

The official site does not publish a complete wedding package list, set duration, public availability calendar, street address or standard inclusions such as ceremony microphones. It also does not establish that every listed genre, song or ensemble member is available for every date. These are evidence gaps and booking details to verify, not negative findings about the service.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published.

The live-performance form asks couples for their budget range, event location, date, time, guest count, requested duration, musical styles and desired add-ons. This indicates that couples should request an event-specific quote. Music-lesson rates shown elsewhere on the site do not establish wedding-performance pricing and should not be used to estimate an event fee.

Ask whether the quote includes travel, preparation or rehearsal for requested songs, additional musicians, sound equipment, setup time, breaks, overtime and applicable taxes. Deposit, cancellation and rescheduling terms should also be obtained in writing before payment.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

Contact and booking

David’s official contact page lists 647-765-5595 and hello@davidskolnick.ca. Couples can also submit the live-performance booking form on his website. No complete public postal address was found on the official performance or contact material reviewed, so none is presented here.

A useful initial enquiry should include the wedding date, venue and city, required performance times, estimated guest count, preferred instruments, solo or ensemble format, and musical direction. The official form requests these details and also asks about the event’s budget range. Sending key ceremony cues or representative song examples may help define the required arrangement.

What couples should confirm

Before signing an agreement, confirm the performer lineup, instruments and vocals attached to each part of the wedding. Establish whether the booking covers the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception or a combination, and document start times, set lengths, breaks and overtime terms.

Confirm the final repertoire and the deadline for special requests. Ask whether requested songs require an added rehearsal or arrangement charge. The venue should also approve amplification, power access, load-in arrangements, performance space and any strolling entertainment.

Finally, verify the total price, travel costs, equipment responsibilities, backup plans, cancellation terms and current availability directly with David. If using a venue piano, confirm its condition and tuning date; if not, specify whether David’s keyboard and amplifier will be supplied.
