Saying goodbye, remembrance and commemoration in style. Live sung music has a special added value and gives a very personal character to a funeral
I always sing with passion from my heart and know how to strike the right chord!
I find it particularly beautiful to use my voice to comfort people on one of the most difficult days, if not the most difficult day, in their lives and know how to touch the right chord.
I sing existing songs in many styles (with the possibility of text adaptation) in my own and appropriate way, with the right emotion and maintaining the intention of the song.
My repertoire consists of songs in Dutch and English supplemented with an occasional German and French song in the following styles: listening songs / easylistening, (soft) pop, classical jazz, country and some R&B/soul. You can also request a song on request. I sing as many songs as you want.
I work with a sound engineer where we work with good quality orchestral tapes.
You can also optionally choose a live pianist / keyboardist or guitarist, just as you prefer. For this there is a surcharge of € 300,-- all-in.
Suitable for a funeral
service, burial or cremation but also condolence or memorial.

We want to thank you very much for the beautiful songs and the way you performed them during our mother's funeral at the end of March. Heartwarming! You have a beautiful voice and this musical decoration of a celebration makes it really special and very atmospheric. We found it very valuable and beautiful. We want to thank you for that. Afterwards we also received positive reactions from guests. In any case, they also found it enriching and especially in these times with restrictions by Corona.

At the end of July we - as a family with close ties - had to say goodbye of our mother (in law). It was a particularly beautiful farewell. We had so many beautiful reactions from many people present, also that it was all in the style of our (in)mother-in-law. Your musical accompaniment made the farewell complete! Because of all the text adjustments it was a beautiful whole and so personal!

The residents enjoyed your performance Machabelle immensely. Highly recommended for anyone who can enjoy music. Great and varied repertoire, good sound!

My whole family and I found it very special and special that you - as a former neighbor girl from Lichtenvoorde - sang during the evening vigil for daddy in Lichtenvoorde and the cremation in Aalten. Especially when you sang "Het Dorp" in the Bonifatius Church (Lichtenvoorde) in his village but also in your native village. Wonderful! Thanks again, it sounded really beautiful and it was great! Also had very nice reactions during the condolence.

What a cozy and atmospheric afternoon it was during the Dickens Festival in Velp on December 7, 2019! Machabelle involved the audience in a very nice way with her songs and performance. Jaap, the keyboard player, also regularly played nicely to this. As a result, many passers-by stayed and enjoyed the conviviality and the nice intimate atmosphere

Dear Machabelle, what a great birthday party we had on August 31, 2019 with beautiful songs sung by you. Especially the Amsterdam medley was a very big success! There was even dancing by the birthday jobs (yes, there were two of 90 years old!) The polonaise was also started, although at an adjusted pace. We can look back on a very successful afternoon. Thanks also to Peter Schreurs for the technical support. We enjoyed it!

Had a fantastic performance by Machabelle in Malburgstaete. The residents enjoyed your beautiful voice and the recognizable songs you sang. Thanks!

Singer Machabelle performed at our Herbergier in Elst. She knows in a sweet and professional way to take our residents along with her songs and give them a great musical afternoon to give. Machabelle thank you very much!

Dear Marga/Machabelle, thank you for your fantastically beautiful performance at our mother's funeral. The service had something magical. We think it certainly added value to the further process of coping. We look back on this moment in a positive way.
, Andre
You sang at my wife Marjelle's funeral in Arnhem. The songs were partly Marjelle's own choice and were performed beautifully. Through your beautiful voice and your involvement, you gave Marga/Machabelle some comfort during this sad farewell. The friends of Marjelle in Norway loved your singing !
, Frans
We want to thank you very much for the way you gave musical substance to the funeral of April 25, 2018 in Nijmegen with your beautiful singing. Moving and definitely will not forget this soon.

Right Agnes Venhoeven, absolutely true, a beautiful evening and the song for Nicky: it was quiet in the hall.
, Agnes
Machabelle, beautifully sung on the Christmas Eve of Zij-Aktief. Especially sung for Nicky, a fellow townsman from Azewijn, 42 years old, died while working. The song "May I be with you", very emotional. Also beautiful Christmas carols to get into Christmas mood. Thank you!!!!!!! Wonderful evening thanks to your beautiful singing!!!!!!!
, Bart
Dear Marga/Machabelle, We have noticed how valuable it is to say goodbye with beautiful music. The songs you sing so respectfully bring up all kinds of special personal memories. A grateful feeling arises, which contributes positively to coping with the loss of someone so dear to us. Thank you so much for that!

Fantastic your concert. From the beginning to the end I was captivated by your beautiful singing. Your song for Anita and me also moved me. Greatly enjoyed, thank you!

Enjoyed yesterday at Lidy and Henk's party! Thanks to your singing! Lovely dancing!
, Emmy
Machabelle, how wonderfully beautiful you sang tonight at the Remembrance Evening at Steenbrugge crematorium. How beautifully you sang! We came back especially for you after the route of light to continue listening.
, Lidy
Dear Marga, on YouTube I saw and heard the excerpt in which you perform the song "Precious Child" on World Lights Day. I think it is very beautiful! Beautifully sung, atmospheric imagery, beautiful shifting of the camera, moody, subdued, but also with positive momentum!
, Ria
Machabelle, during the funeral of our mother you left an unforgettable impression for us and the other people present, also because of your voice and your warm personality! Thank you so much!
, Stanley
Yesterday you were at the Funeral Fair in Heteren, where I enjoyed your singing. I found "Het Dorp" and "Non, je ne regrette rien" especially beautifully sung. Machabelle, when the occasion arises i will heartily recommend you!
, Siska
Marga, how wonderful you sounded again last Tuesday night at Rhederoord. Secretly a little proud that this began during a funeral I organized at Moscowa in 2012. Your name is in my Pyramid, the complete funeral script. Then my children will know where to find you later! Good luck!
, Tina
How beautifully you sang at the funeral fair at Besems funeral home, i will definitely pass on your name ...... Good luck!
, Chrissie
It is not in my expectation that I will leave this earth anytime soon. But when that time comes, Marga/Machabelle may provide the musical relief with her beautiful voice! Quite a difficult job to choose from such beautiful songs! Fortunately I still have ff .... :-)...
, Marga
Marga/Machabelle, how great it looks!!! We knew your voice sounds great even on You tube!!! The song "Gone too soon", that brought up emotions which I'm sure you understand! We wish you lots of success, we wish you that with all our hearts.
