"I just wanted to properly thank you for my birthday!  The night was a total success and I couldn't have even started putting it together without your help.  Thank you for keeping everyone involved and entertained throughout the night. I'm still getting messages from friends telling me that it was the best birthday they'd ever been to.  I've never done anything like that before and don't think I'll be able to pull off anything like it again.  Thanks for the best 30th birthday ever!" - Ben (30th birthday)

"On behalf of Jennifer, Kirsten and myself, and ALL the kids that attended Jennifer’s party, I’d like to thank you so much for hosting such a fabulous “mystery party” and let you know that we have received nothing but amazing feedback on the party, and how wonderful you were. Jennifer simply loved her party." - Colin (12th birthday)

"You were an amazing ‘host’ and we have you to thank for the success of the event. No way on earth could we have pulled off the same result if we’d had to do it ourselves. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and professionalism. Overall, we are totally chuffed about the way the whole thing went and thank you again for a job exceptionally well done … Brilliant!” - Kathryn (GE Money)

"We are certainly keen to recommend the 'Murder in a Box' game and more particularly your hostess skills to anyone who is interested." - Sue (50th birthday)

"What an amazing job! Thank you so much for keeping the evening moving and fun. Everyone had a blast. I could never have hosted the evening in such a professional yet casual and funny way." - Trish (45th birthday)

Thank you for hosting a second birthday party for one of our daughters, it was yet again a great success. We would highly recommend you to friends and family to host a party, whether it be for the kids or an adult Hollywood party. Once again, thank you - you make the night so easy for the parents and fun for the kids. Looking forward to next party!" - Catherine (10th birthday)

"Just wanted to say thank you so much for the fabulous job you did at Mum's 70th.  Mum has had so many people call her to say what a wonderful night they had and many people have talked about wanting to throw their own murder party... so I think that's a big compliment to you and the energy you instilled in everyone." - Verena (70th birthday)

"Thank you very much for the great night at our Murder Mystery Night.  It was a first time for a lot of us.  We all really enjoyed the night and I have only had positive feedback.  Everyone is saying what a great fun night they had." - Jane (Skansen P/L)

"You were awesome.  Everyone commented after you left that you made the party.  I feel without you, it wouldn't have been so successful.  We all had a great time and it was so lovely to see so many people that didn't know each other well, get on so well in such a short time." - Jenny (50th birthday)

"I would like to extend our thanks to both Simon & Charlotte for their fantastic ambience and hosting of our Roaring 20’s night.   They were both funny, exciting, captivating and overall fabulous and they really made the night complete." - Hayley (Doquile Perrett Meade)

"Thank you - we had a great time and it was terrific that everyone got into the spirit of the evening. Many of the guests commented that you did a great job. You kept the pace going and concluded the mystery at an appropriate time. Thank you for helping make Dale’s birthday weekend a success." - Angela (50th birthday)

"It was a great success, so thanks again!" - Shauna (National Australia Bank)
