Wedding Ceremony Murder Mystery

Wedding Murder Mystery!

Murder One have staged many wedding murder mystery events for receptions, but in September 2021 an actual wedding ceremony was interrupted by the arrival of our police and news of a murder! The Bride and Groom had married virtually alone during Covid restrictions, however wanted a unique murder mystery for their 120 guests and outdoor ceremony at the wonderful Barn at Upcote in Cheltenham. Only the happy couple were in on it, and had booked our package that includes additional uniformed officers for added realism! As the celebrant was conducting the ceremony, and on the brink of repeating their vows, our Detective Inspector (played by an ex ‘real life’ Detective Sergeant!) flanked by uniform officers marched down the aisle to announce the murder! The duped guests looked on in shock as police marched out 8 of our suspects – who’d been planted amongst the guests 24 hours previously. They’d been observed having hushed confrontations in the hotel bar the night before as well at breakfast and also on the coaches that transported the guests and our suspects from a Double Tree Hilton to the wedding venue!

With the Groomsmen and Best Man confronting the police and urging them to take this matter elsewhere so that the ceremony could continue, the Swedish celebrant (at this typically flamboyant Swedish wedding!) announced that all was not as it seemed and the briefly bemused guests were now challenged to solve a murder mystery – to great cheers of relief! The event was captured on the real body cams of our ex police officers who were playing the uniformed cops, and footage will follow when we’ve recovered! In the meantime here are a couple of testimonials from the Bride, Groom and Best Man…

Police Officers join Murder Mystery Events

Extra Police Officers For Added Realism In Your Murder Mystery

Murder One are now delighted to offer uniformed police officers at your murder mystery event! This isn’t ‘fancy dress’ – the specialist team we have now partnered with to enhance our events even further come with uniforms and props that are sourced from the exact same manufacturers as the UK police use. Such is their authenticity that they’re used in productions such as ‘Happy Valley’, ‘No Offence’, ‘Eastenders’, ‘Ackley Bridge’, ‘Scott & Baily’, ‘Emmerdale’, ‘Hollyoaks’, ‘Spook’s, ‘Silent Witness’, and have also appeared in James Bond films!

The package we’ll quote when you enquire about our murder mystery events includes a plain clothes Detective Inspector or ‘Host’. However as a ‘bolt on’ you may also wish to book these uniformed officers to add to the realism of your murder mystery (if for example you’re wishing to keep the event as a surprise from your guests/clients – imagine their reaction when authentic uniformed police march into your function room!)

For more information on these officers see here. The events can also be recorded on real police bodycams, so for no extra cost you have video evidence from your event!

If you wish to hire extra uniformed police please let us know and we’ll include a quote when you enquire at info@murder-one.com

Our events are as natural and real as possible, but there’s always time at the end for fun photo/video opportunities if you wish your MD (or other usual suspect in your company!) to be arrested!

Murder Mystery – Wedding Reception Event

Wedding Murder Mystery Event

See video evidence below from our murder mystery event during a wedding reception in Ripon. Our rogues gallery of suspects arrived early at the venue and were mingling with guests from 4.30. The event was a secret from all but the bride and groom!

The action later moved to the marque where a murder was announced and the mayhem and mystery developed from there! The 40 guests interrogated us and trawled through the red-herrings. Despite our reassurances, the blushing bride said it’s what she’d been most nervous about prior to her big day (even more so than the beautiful dance they’d had choreographed) simply because she had no idea of how it would go down. It was a tremendous success however – as with all our events!. The happy couple and their guests were overjoyed with how our perfect murder had complemented their perfect day!

A video of testimonials from the event is below… Our first event after the lifting of lockdown was also a wedding reception murder mystery and we’ve another 6 wedding events booked this summer too!

Murder at Peaky Blinders location

Another teambuilding murder mystery solved!

Here we have another AMAZING murder mystery as a team away day for Strategic North who were one of the best group of sleuths EVER! They really got stuck into us over dinner as they interrogated us relentlessly despite our rogues gallery of suspects being so defensive and obnoxious! They were clearly an amazing set of colleagues – you could see their camaraderie as following their annual awards ceremony they trawled through our red herrings to try and solve our fiendish murder at the spectacular Arley Hall – which has also been used as a filming location for news stories on BBC Breakfast News right through to Disney productions.

Among some of the productions filmed at Arley Hall have been the BBC’s Peaky Blinders, Antiques Road Show, Body Farm, Great British Garden Revival, Songs of Praise, Our Zoo; ITV’s Coronation Street, Cold Feet, The Voice, Tonight with Trevor McDonald, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Cold Blood, The Forsythe Saga, Midwinter of the Spirit and Britannia High; Channel 4’s Hollyoaks and Disney UK for Evermoor. It was a delight to perform for such fun clients and at such an amazing venue which leant itself perfectly to our murder mystery events!
