Company details

  1. Corporate Entertainment Service

Written by the company

The Murder Mystery Meals Company have been in business since 1996 offering fun Murder Mystery evenings and weekends. We run over 450 events a year and offer a nationwide service. We can organise a venue for you or we can come to your home, a holiday cottage, office, hall, hotel. We are completely flexible. With our smaller events up to 35 guests with two actors we can offer an event where you all get a character and one of you is Murderer!! We do not tell the Murderer who they are so we don't spoil it for one person having to keep a secret. You all follow the clues and think "Do you know what, it might be me!!" For larger events for up to 140 people we will still try to involve some of the guests as characters alongside our 5 actors. All of our events provide a fun filled evening that you will be talking about for days.

A really special evening!

We hosted a Murder Mystery for my 40th birthday and I cannot recommend these guys highly enough! I loved that I got to allocate roles (so I was able to assign my mum the character that had to obey my brother all evening!)! The pre-event communication was excellent and I understood how everything would work on the night. The actors arrived on time and explained a few additional things and off we went! The actors were fine to slip in and out of character when we wanted a few pictures taken and things like that, and they really developed a great rapport with my guests. We chose to cater the event ourselves from my home and it worked really well as we had everything pre-prepared, it just had to be shoved in the oven. This obviously helped to keep costs down!
Again, I would highly recommend a murder mystery evening for any special event! A really special evening!

Hen Party murder mystery

Steve contacted me a few weeks before the hen party to explain what will happen on the night and the characters we will play. He prepared the 'official invitations' making sure I was happy with them and I was then able to distribute accordingly. As it's fancy dress it can be hard trying to think of how you're going to dress as this character so I really liked that ideas were given on how you could dress.

The murder mystery itself was hilarious we were all laughing at the story line! Tania and Kevin played their parts very well and helped to keep the story flowing when some like myself got stuck on their lines! It was such a fun evening and the bride to be had a lovely time. It was done really well around our meal so we were able to eat and then continue with the acting.

I had some prizes for the winning team but loved that Tania not only awarded the winning team but best dressed and best actress on the night. I would suggest getting some additional small prizes as this was such a nice surprise.

Laughed until our faces hurt!

Hi Steve,

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for the Murder Mystery meal last night. We had the most wonderful time. We all laughed so much and the bride was very happy with how it went. Simon and Estelle were fantastic. They really kept the energy up and had us in hysterics.

We will be sure to book again for future events and reccomend your company.

Thanks,
Laura

I booked the murder mystery company as part of my mums hen weekend, title "The Jealous bride"
Honestly amazing!
The team wrote individual invitations to each guest which made it that extra bit special, setting the scene, giving character info ect!
I would recommend dressing up as advised, we all did and it was fantastic! The team arrived, very welcoming, able to guide the evening well! Nothing but a great night!

Hen Party Murder Mystery Meal

The actors came to our location. As it was a hen weekend the party was already lively. The actors were friendly and let us ad-lib so it was very relaxed. I was nervous that I might forget my “lines” or not know when to say them but the story flowed smoothly and there were plenty of surprises along the way. It was a fun evening. The hen’s mother had sent out the menu and prepared all the food in advance which was delicious.

Fantastic

Fantastic, fun night, would highly recommend. We booked the jealous bride for 12 people for a hen party, they travelled to us and worked around our meals, the actors Peter and Cat were fantastic, they told us what we needed to do and made it simple for us first timers. The script was brilliant, the actors were so funny, we laughed all night and had the best time. Can't wait to do it again

A perfect choice for a hen party

This was such a fun night! I booked 'the Jealous Bride' for a hen party of 10 people at a hotel in Oxford. I was a little apprehensive given that the group didn't all know each other and were quite a mix of ages, but on reflection this was the perfect activity... Everyone threw themselves into character and went all out with the costumes, and the whole group said how much they enjoyed themselves. The organisation/communication in the run up to the event was excellent, and the way that the plot was personalised was brilliant. The two actors really made the night... a couple of members of the group said afterwards that they expected an event like this would put them out of their comfort zone, but as soon as it started the actors really made them feel at ease. We didn't stop laughing throughout the evening, and I certainly feel that we gave the bride-to-be a memorable evening. Highly recommend.

The ‘jealous bride’ experience

I booked the ‘jealous bride’ experience for my sisters hen do. The team turned up to our rented accommodation and put on a great show, they brought lots of laughter and fun to the evening! Steve was extremely helpful on booking and kept me well informed right up until the day. The effort which went into the invite letter, character sheets and fancy dress tips was fantastic and had everyone excited weeks before the event. Highly recommend Steve and his team for a hen or dinner party activity!

A dead good night!

Our team of thirteen had a fantastic night cracking the Soloman's Ring murder mystery. We'd been recommended Steve and the team by our venue, Hinwick House, and it couldn't have been a more perfect match. Our actors were great — professional but good fun too. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much, and we've all agreed that it'll go down in the history of the company as one of our very best activities! We were catering for ourselves, and the actors were very accommodating in terms of timings — they were also happy to take lots of fab photos of us dressed in our finery. In terms of the story itself, there was a great array of characters and we really were stumped on whodunit right to the end (despite some clues staring us in the face!) Steve was also very easy to communicate with, keeping me updated and clear on next steps throughout.
