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.

Where do I even begin

Where do I even begin
I booked this for my sister in laws hen do and it was incredible one of the highlights of the day
The actors that ran the event were hilarious and allowed us to ad lib as we wanted - everyone joined it and was laughing from the start to the end
I loved how it was personalised to the hen and the characters where great
I honestly could fault the night all the guest spoke about it for hours after

I think the only way this could get better would be to make it more personal, ask more details about the wedding or the hen party/ their roles and that would make it more personal and funnier

But Steve was amazing from the start answered all my silly questions and was easy to contact
I'd definitely do another murder mystery from the company again

Brilliant

We did a murder mystery dinner in a stately country home for a company retreat and had an absolutely fantastic time. The communications beforehand about characters, what to wear, etc. was all smooth and the actors on the night were lovely and hilarious. We had so much fun! Perfect team-building for a small work team or for a large group of friends.

Best hen do event using Steve at Murder Mystery…

We engaged with Steve at Murder Mystery meals for a recent hen party and I cant rate them highly enough. Steve was great at communicating throughout and very accommodating including last minute changes. On the day itself we had such an amazing and fun time. Actors were on time and larger than life and therefore amazing at getting everyone into character; agenda was provided for timings of the meal and good flow therefore; characters were easy for everyone to get in to without costing the earth. All in all everyone said they had the best time. Thanks Steve and crew. Hope to be able to use you again in the future

Fantastic Family Evening with Murder Mystery Meals

We had a fantastic evening with 'Murder Mystery Meals'. They were very straightforward to deal with with and took on board our specific requests. There were 17 of us at our party and everyone had a huge amount of fun with the two actors who led the evening; they were truly excellent and they gave it 100%. We would certainly recommend using 'Murder Mystery Meals' to other groups considering doing something like this.

Hilarious!

We booked the Curse of Solomon's Ring for a corporate party and it was excellent - everyone had a lot of fun dressing up and it was so funny seeing colleagues getting into their roles and being extra dramatic. The actors were great - very good natured and letting people improv when enjoying themselves, but keeping things moving when needed too! Steve was also a big help in the planning process. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing night

We had an amazing night, murder mystery staff were extremely professional. They were very organised and made the night an unforgettable one. The chefs who cooked the meal at our cottage were absolutely amazing, the food was so fresh and delicious, and they cleaned the kitchen and crockery after themselves too! Would recommend to anyone wanting to do something a little different!

Great fun and something different

Steve at MMMC was always quick to respond to any queries for a fun evening for my Hen Do.
Instructions were clear prior to the night and the two actors that created such an entertaining evening were great, especially having to cope with 12 intoxicated women trying to read the occasional line. Plot written around myself & significant other which made it personal. Would recommend and would look forward to using again for a dinner party.

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!
