Claire Brown, Outreach Services, 26th February 2008
Thank you very much

excellent. … and everyone found the evening truly enjoyable! Please pass on my
thanks to the rest of your team who helped make this night what it was.
Charlotte Kennedy,
Price Waterhouse Coopers, 18th

Just
wanted to let you know that we had the most amazing time last night.
As
I expected, we were not a bunch of wallflowers and everyone joined in most
enthusiastically. Your actors were fantastic, really made the evening
something special.
Thank
you very much.
Alison Roos, Kantar Group, 9th January 2008
Below
are COMMENTS
fromMICHAEL PEARSE
on his Murder Mystery event at Hadlow Manor on 27th October 2007
To
sum it all up, you were fantastic! Thank you so much for everything both
you and Suzanne did (especially you for your patience!) Please please pass on
my thanks to Hilary...she was fantastic!
I
emailed 4 providers of this kind of event and ME were the first to respond to
my original request with a clear and easy to understand quotation.
They were also the most competitively priced.
I subsequently pestered ME with many enquiries from the initial quote
and they were all handled in a prompt, effective and very patient way!!
Initially
Suzanne, and then Sophie were absolutely excellent in dealing with all my
questions leading up the event…and there were many.
Nothing was ever too much trouble for Sophie to sort out.
My questions were always answered very promptly and thoroughly.
Fantastic service.
The
hotel was easy to find and very fitting for a murder mystery party.
The food was first class and the staff very helpful and friendly.
The
event itself ran very smoothly and was well organised.
The content was well thought through and great fun, ....
for our wine soaked sleuths brains!! However,
for me (and my guests) the star of the show had to be Hilary playing the
fantastic Terri.
Excellent!
Everyone
at ME has been excellent, providing first class and more importantly friendly
service.
I definitely know what I will be
doing for my 50th and I would not hesitate in using ME again.
So thank you all at Mystery Events for a first class and FRIENDLY service.
Over
the moon!
I have just got back .. and
wanted to write straight away to say how pleased I was
with the weekend. Everything was organised to perfection,
the hotel staff were fab and the murder mystery and Hilary
were brilliant. ..... all said what a fantastic evening it
was.
Kelly Groves, Private Party 5th August 2007
I
cannot fault Mystery Events in delivering what we had
requested. I would not hesitate in using the Mystery
Events team again.
Ruth Koyne, KPMG 31st July 2007
Thank
you ever so much, we had a fantastic time and have told
all our friends and family what great fun it was..
You are a No 1 company and any team building events in the
future, we will be coming to you.
Michelle Coombs, Westinghouse Rail Systems, 17th July 2007
The
Mystery Event altogether was brilliant, because of the
interaction with the actors and their styles. All helped
to make the event great because the people / audience got
really involved.
Sophie Biagidi, HSBC 6th July 2007
Best
Team Event we have ever had - everyone is still raving
about it!
Sandra
Reeves, Thurleigh Road Practice, 4th July 2007
The
event was perfect for our purpose. It gave structure to
the evening and was a fun way of bringing colleagues
together and ensuring that they talk about something other
than work. Good team building activity too.
The
co-ordinator was was flexible and helpful on the night,
unobtrusively assisting ...... He was very visible
when needed but quietly let people get on and chat at
other times. The story itself was fun.
Emma Garrett, DFES, 28th June 2007
The Content and co-ordinator were GREAT! Hilary
was just brilliant and really made us all laugh, feel at ease and work together
as a TEAM which was the whole point of the evening
– the clues and the storylines were just hilarious!!
Thank you very much for a great evening! I
would definitely recommend your company to friends.
Gabby Raefman, Goldman
Sachs, MM
London 26th April 2007
Many
thanks, to you and your team for the event on 21st April. We thought it went
well although we perhaps didn't take it as seriously as we had intended (except
my brother!). The characters were great and we got a lot of enjoyment with
the way you had put them together. Elaine worked very hard and was very patient
with us all.
The evening was a great success and … had a fabulous time - thanks again.
Regards,Eileen Nixon
We
all thoroughly enjoyed the Treasure Hunt. Agents Smith and Smith were very
good/helpful.
Thank
you so much for helping us organising this event.
I know that a few of our department talked to Agents Smith about helping out
with other projects and I am certain we will be in touch to do more business
with you in the future.
Many thanks, once again.

Thank you very much for arranging the Murder Mystery evening for me.
It was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended and I would like to say a big

for us and I would certainly recommend her and your company to others who are
looking for a similar fun team building event.

Hi Adrienne
Just to let you know that we all thoroughly enjoyed the day despite the
rain which did not dampened our spirit. Elaine's briefing was very well
presented and what was required of us was easily understood.
Thanks for a well though out event and I would definitely recommend you to
any other section who was considering this type of Team Building.

Hi
Elaine
I would like to thank you and Sophie on behalf of everyone at my hen night last
week. We all had a fantastic time
and people will be talking about it for a long time to come. I was
particularly impressed by my Aunt's acting as Justine Thyme. She made a
scarily good drunk!!!!
Thanks
again and we will definitely be recommended your services to friends and family
in the future.

We all had a brilliant time from start to finish and even though it
poured with rain, this just helped the creativity to flow.

Thanks to you and the team for yesterday. It

Saturday
went really well and was enjoyed by everyone in the party. This was greatly helped by the enthusiasm and wit that was
displayed by our "social secretary, Terri". She was fantastic, blended in so well and her judgement of
character was excellent.
Would you please pass on my thanks.

We really enjoyed our hunt and all had great fun.
Suzanne was lovely and funny and I would defiantly recommend you to
friends and family looking for a similar thing.
I would say that the organisation was fantastic and that Suzanne's
enthusiasm made the activity absolutely the best thing to do on our hen
weekend. It was also excellent
value and our knowledge of Oxford has increased several times over!
Thank you all very much for such a lovely day.

Very
well organised and lots of fun. We
were kept guessing until the very end and there were lots of twists and turns to
keep you involved all evening. Elaine
was excellent – you would never guess she did this week in week out, as she
made it personal. She added humour
and spoke to us in our character names to make it a little more real.
An
excellent weekend all round, with great entertainment, good food and top
service.

Dear Adrienne
A note to thank you and your team for organising and running such an
effective Teambuilding event for us.
I felt that the design of the problems showed that a great deal of
thought had been put into setting us tasks that suited both our company aims,
and the nature of my team. We were only able to complete each section by the
shared abilities of all involved. Individuals also had to overcome some phobias
and foibles along the way.
Graham, who ran the proceedings, certainly challenged us from the moment
we started, making sure that we maximised on the learning points that could be
achieved. In particular, he set a high standard on what was expected from us,
and managed to demonstrate some innovative ways of approaching the issues we
faced. Please pass on sincere thanks.
Between the construction and execution of the day, we were kept in a very
high state of activity, beating our time limit by a mere 15 seconds on the third
section!
Yours sincerely,

Murder Mystery - 17-18 December 2005
Everything went very well and we all had a really great time. I thought our
facilitator Suzanne was really excellent, she was very fun and got
right into the spirit of the night, playing her role really well, and she was
also very tolerant of us (especially the less obedient guests),
and even went so far as to arrange for music to be brought into the private room
for us for dancing afterwards!
I also thought the hotel was great - lovely rooms etc and they made us feel very
welcome (costumes and all!) which was great.
Also they were able to cater for those of us who wanted to stay up late dancing
and at the bar which was great.
The
murder mystery itself worked very well (I definitely recommend dressing up - it
made everything much funnier and everyone really got into it)
I liked the cryptic crossword type
letter, the whole process leading
up to that was very fun and kept everyone engaged.
Thanks for organising everything and especially for organising the kosher meal -
the kosher guest was thrilled you were able to do it and at such short notice,
and I am really grateful to you for going to that trouble - I really had not
expected that you would be able to organise that at all!
I had a wonderful birthday weekend, so thanks again for organising it all.
Kind regards,

Hi Elaine
Just
a quick note to say, thank you very much for Friday evening at Theobalds Park.

Thank you
very much for a great evening, for making our slightly bizarre characters a

and for putting up with 20 slightly tipsy students mocking your American accent!

also it was good to see the immense task of trying to coordinate 20 people of
equally brilliant time-management skills pay off!
Thanks again. Yours appreciatively
