Dieke musically filled the Sittard Christmas streets for two evenings last weekend. It was a pleasure to listen to her, and the communication beforehand was excellent! (via Google)

We had invited Dieke to sing at a Christmas dinner for the elderly. The people enjoyed themselves, both familiar and old Christmas songs were played. Definitely recommended to book Dieke for a beautiful musical entertainment
, Krista & Esther
We enjoyed your beautiful voice.

I would like to thank Dieke and the pianist very much for the beautiful performance during my mother's funeral service. Dieke sang Ave Maria a favourite song of my mother beautifully and flawlessly. I was touched by her interpretation of "in mir klingt ein lied" so incredibly beautiful. A very nice memory. Thank you very much for this. And finally also for the pleasant cooperation around making appointments for the performance.

The other day in a Pantein nursing home for the residents suffering from dementia, Dieke and I were given the opportunity to celebrate the Virgin Mary in an experience-oriented way. Because of the corona event this took place outside in their garden, around the statue of Mary standing there. The participants listened attentively to the stories about Mary and prayed along with prayers that were familiar to them. And they sang, from everyone's ability, along with the recognizable songs that were sung beautifully by Dieke. Her charisma, her beautiful gripping singing talent and the choice of the songs fitted in perfectly with the whole. It was a pleasure for me to do this together with Dieke for these fellow men. Definitely a must for institutions to involve Dieke with her singing qualities in special events.

Especially "In mir klingt ein Lied" was so incredibly beautiful! Wonderful! It's been in my head for days. The beautiful music during the funeral gives me comfort. Many thanks for that, also to the pianist.
, Frank
Too bad I couldn't get to know you for a moment. But... Oh, my God! How beautifully you sang. And what a piano playing. Awesome! Thank you for accompanying the service in such a wonderful and wonderful way. And maybe we'll meet again after all. Thank you also on behalf of my wife and children and sister-in-law.
, Laura
The very first contact, the support in choosing the right songs and an accompanying piano player was not only highly professional but also very pleasant. We are very happy we chose her. She is an outstanding singer gifted with a beautiful and diverse voice - she performed classical and pop songs on our wedding and both was simply great. We can highly recommend Dieke van Hoften!
, Carla
Dieke sang at our wedding. She was absorbed in our company and she knew how to go along with the atmosphere in a flowing way. A pleasure to listen and watch. Dieke, thanks again for your great performance. We wish you a lot of success and many beautiful assignments.

How the residents of a living room in Naarderheem enjoyed your performance. The most beautiful songs were sung there, especially the song Vilja caused some residents and staff to have goose bumps on their arms. But of course the other songs were also beautiful. The atmosphere was slowly built up but just before the end of the performance several residents were dancing and you could see the smiles on their faces. But what was also so nice was that people who were outside for a while and who you heard singing came to your beautiful voice and kept on listening. That way you had even more audience. The performance was possible because a son of a resident had registered his father for a performance through Plugify. A lot of people enjoyed it. And that completely disinterested. Finally, it was more than great and I hope to meet you again.

Dieke graced our special Maria celebration for our clients outside in the garden. We enjoyed her warm, special voice. Partly thanks to Dieke's beautiful singing it has become a warm, valuable celebration.
, Christ Neijs
Her charisma, her beautiful gripping singing talent and the choice of songs fitted perfectly
, Luc
it was so beautiful to hear her at that moment. Thank you so much for helping to make something so beautiful for my family and me!
, Pieter
Very flexible in her work and available at short notice. We asked Dieke for our grandmother's funeral. In a short period of time, she fulfilled my grandmother's musical wishes and made an exceptional performance.
, Simone
My mother died in April 2020. Very sad. How to give the woman you put on earth a beautiful and powerful farewell at a time when you have to make choices in family and friends to be present. Together with my brother and nephew, we chose the presence of a very small company complemented by beautiful words and equally powerful musical homage. The Rose, Ave Maria and Amazing Grace sang live next to her. Carla on piano and Dieke with her beautiful voice. The sadness was made bearable and with a warm "go ahead" we were able to let her go. Dieke thanks for your voice, the songs and the last greeting to my mother.
, Niels
We really enjoyed ourselves and so did the residents of Naarderheem.
, Mai
At the cremation of our mother last December, Dieke sang the Ave Maria for her and for us. I was so moved by her beautiful voice! We also had a lot of positive reactions and I am so happy that we asked her. Highly recommended to give a farewell a special touch! Thank you very much Dieke, forever....
, Rieës
Dieke's performance, accompanied by a guitarist, was a 'gift' during the opening of our exhibition at Kunst-227. Dieke's voice is warm, very melodic and versatile. The enthusiasm and pleasure that Dieke radiates during her performance will make you happy. About 80 visitors enjoyed her singing and Dieke as a very pleasant person.
, Clementine
My father, brothers and I and also the 200 intimates who were invited for my mother's funeral after the church service will never forget Dieke's beautiful singing. It was the most beautiful and comforting thing we could have wished for at that moment: the angelic and flawless voice of Dieke who - a cappella - sang the Ave Maria at the grave when we arrived with the coffin. And the Bist du bei mir by Bach when we entrusted my mother to the earth. Those sad and penetrating moments then became moments of beauty, partly due to Dieke's singing
, Oep
Dieke sent me a recording of the song 'autumn leaves' which I listened to on my phone while stuck in a traffic jam. My brother had died a few days earlier and while I was listening tears rolled down my cheeks. During the funeral a few days later Dieke sang the same song live to an audience of over 300 people who gave a final greeting to my brother
, Juliane
We had asked you to sing Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen at our wedding. You did not just sing, you gave us and our guests goose bumps with your beautiful, powerful, but also very emotional voice. You filled the chapel with that specific tension that we hoped to experience at our ceremony
, Marieke
During our marriage Dieke sang the Ave Maria for us in church. I can still remember it as yesterday's day. An unforgettable experience. She sang so beautifully and clearly, it was deadly quiet in the church and everyone was impressed. In recent years I have been able to attend a number of performances and concerts. Again and again she knows how to move people with her beautiful voice. She sings all genres with ease, with a lightness and yet always powerful. My favourite: the songs of Eva Cassidy, Diekes voice comes impressively close to that. I will warmly recommend everyone to invite Dieke for a performance at a big moment like a wedding, funeral and a beautiful party. And I hope to hear a lot more from Dieke myself in the time to come.
, Mascha
The highlight of our wedding party was rightfully Dieke's performance. Everyone was quiet and impressed by the emotion in the perfectly sung song. Rehearsed for us!
, Folkert
Dieke performed a song especially for me on our 5-year wedding anniversary. It was a song (I live my life by André Hazes) for which I have warm feelings and fond memories. Dieke did her interpretation of this song without any rehearsal with the band that was present. The result was impressive and touched a sensitive chord with many of those present.

We were at a performance of Crescendo and KNA in Purmerend in Pop Hall P3. The singers gave a dazzling show. However when 1 singer put in "Barcelona" we were blown over by these huge beauties! One Dieke sang the classical part live!!!! Dutch got talent! You are missing somebody! Call her!
, Jan-Albert
how beautiful it was how you sang this special text (Beautiful by Marco Borsato). A memory forever. More beautiful than we had dared to dream
, David
every year that we celebrate our wedding day, your beautifully sung piece "Ave Maria" comes to mind. It gives us goose bumps every time we think about it. Accompanied by a piano in a church, your beautiful voice echoed where several people were touched. A fantastic and professional performance with a personal touch!
, Wim
We wanted to celebrate the 25th anniversary of being together in private with my sister, brother-in-law and dear friends. To make it special I asked Dieke to sing a song for my partner. It was a special moment where even the kitchen brigade came to listen. Dieke's warm voice gives these special moments an extra dimension
, User
For a Country & Westernfeest we were looking for singers to give this evening an extra with live music. Through the client it was indicated that the interpretation could be made up and so the idea arose to start after the break with the opening tune of "Once upon a time in te West". At the first notes the guests started to wonder who had set up this tune when it soon became clear that Dieke was singing this live! Wow! We went crazy after this song! Just live Once upon a time in the West!

Dieke van Hoften graced my party when I said goodbye to my work. Although I have heard Dieke sing under many different circumstances, I was still very pleasantly surprised by her professional and atmospheric presentation. Whether there's a complete big band behind her or, like at my party, with a tiny mobile sound source in her hand in the middle of the audience, she acoustically plays her music to the best of her ability, Dieke is always 100% in tune with the music and with the situation. With her enormously versatile voice and with her unconventional appearance she knows how to evoke all those different atmospheres that belong to the wide range of her repertoire. Her voice is the soul of her presentation, there can be no doubt about that. With that one song at my party, Dieke has pleasantly softened for me the pain of facing a completed past
, Erwin
For the funeral of my mother-in-law we asked Dieke to sing Bist Du bei Mir in church. The challenge to sing a cappella without amplification and then a classical song was no problem for Dieke. How very brave that you dare to do this. The warm memories of this performance have given us comfort
, Kees
Saturday 10 October 2015 we enjoyed Combo Chico. They played in "The Great Hall" of the Louwman Museum for no less than 260 guests throughout the evening delicious swinging music, to listen to and to dance to
, Jacomien
Our friend died and we said goodbye to her during a cremation. We were very surprised by a performance of Dieke van Hoften. During the cremation she sang Ave Maria van Schubert and Oh what a beautiful morning from the musical Oklahoma
, Paul
During the funeral of our grandmother and mother it was very nice that Dieke, as part of the service, sang the beautiful Hallelujah
, Tosca
My grandmother Lies loved classical music very much. We always listened together to her CD's with the most famous pieces. That's why it touched me when Dieke gave her performance of the Ave Maria at my grandmother's funeral. It was a very nice way to commemorate her
, Jochem
Dieke's singing created the perfect atmosphere during the ceremony.
, Ans
My girlfriend turned 65 and we celebrated that with a very nice performance of Theatron-Events with soloist Dieke van Hoften. We all enjoyed it very much. Especially Dieke's special, but also versatile voice.
, Paulien
A year after we got married in small company, we gave a party for all our friends and family with a wedding ceremony in advance. We asked Dieke to sing at this ceremony. We had already heard her several times and were impressed by her beautiful voice. We and our guests enjoyed her performance and beautiful, warm voice. Thanks to Dieke we had an unforgettable day. Thanks for that!
, Bernadet
Dieke sang the Ave Maria during my mother's farewell service in 2009. Subdued, flawless and movingly beautiful it was. Her contribution in this way touched me, as music can sometimes do. It was very comforting in that sad moment.
, Willemse
Last year we had a difficult and fortunately not everyday conversation with my mother to discuss her wishes before her funeral. In hindsight a very valuable conversation because you want to tune it as much as possible to her own wishes. In that conversation she had indicated that she would be very happy if you would sing the Ave Maria at her funeral. After her death we contacted her and you immediately indicated to make private arrangements to be present at the funeral. You also immediately offered to perform Claudia de Breij's song "May I sing with you" for her. This number was also a wish of hers. You immediately made the necessary arrangements with the funeral company in a professional manner. How special it is when music is performed live. Much more intense and beautiful than a song played from the music installation. Also contributes greatly to the personal atmosphere of such a day. On behalf of the whole family we would like to thank you for your contribution to make the funeral something unforgettable.
