“… and when they met – it was Murder!”
The scene is set... you’re now happily married; and the guests are brimming with excitement and joy for you. You all head to the wedding breakfast, where the tables are laid, the wine is chilled, the cat's been thrown out. The last thing you need now is for someone to drop down dead with a knife in their back!
Ah!
Have you thought about your wedding dinner entertainment?
I’ve been running murder mysteries for nearly 20 years. They have consistently received rave reviews from wedding parties, hen parties, birthdays, public, and corporate events, as the perfect entertainment to add to any occasion.
I have murdered for members of Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, The Chuckle Brothers, and Lorraine Chase!!
All of the murder plots are original scripts written by me, and they are always performed by fully professional actors.

Our murders are typically delivered by two to six actors, depending on audience size and budget.
If you’ve opted for a themed wedding (Peaky Blinders for example), you could see the characters turn up afterwards all embroiled in a gruesome, and giggly murder.
A Dinner Theatre event is performed over a three course dinner or hot buffet and lasts approximately 3 hours.
Performances take place between the courses, and there will be plenty of opportunity for some voluntary audience participation as the drinks (and the blood) flow! We don't have to perform around a meal at all. If it's not over a meal, we just split the murder into 4 parts with small breaks.
Murder on the Side know their murders... large murders, small murders, red weddings, hen night horrors, mass corporate slaughters, even a deadly birthday dinner round at yours!
At Murder on the Side , we guarantee an evening of top-quality entertainment with its tongue firmly in its cheek.
Wedding of Kerry & Rob Dixon
“Hi Steph, If we had roses, we would have thrown them at your team at the end of your performance, it was brilliant.
We loved it, our guests loved it! Your team are such a real asset and the humour during the whole performance was hilarious. A lot of our guests didn’t know each other and the whole concept of a murder mystery at a wedding breakfast creates an ice-breaker –we really couldn’t recommend your team enough. We are obviously going to say this but it was the best wedding breakfast we have ever sat through! Nearly a week after the wedding we are still receiving messages from our guests about how much fun they had. Thank you to all your team for putting on an outstanding performance; we really did have the best day of our lives, so thank you for playing a part in that!”
