Tremendous! A grin plastered to my face like so much cement! My mother descended to the Mohonk Mountain House reception desk and signed herself up for next year!
- Alexis Soloski, New York Times
The show was absolutely fantastic. From the very start we felt like we were part of the event. We were so impressed with the quality and the professionalism of the cast. All of them were amazing. Murder Cafe really cares about the people in the audience. It was a truly wonderful event; thank you for the joy!

I checked out one of Murder Cafe's Mystery Weekends at Congress Hall in Cape May, New Jersey and it was so much fun. If you're interested in solving a murder and having a nice relaxing weekend away, check out the next Murder Cafe Mystery Weekend.

"When it comes to the breadth of entertainment at Mohonk Mountain House, Murder Café blends history, humor, enthusiasm, and mystery in an unparalleled style. Their exquisite attention to detail—whether in costumes, dialogue, or guest interaction—has established them as a cornerstone of our events on the mountaintop. In 2017, Murder Café was entrusted with the responsibility of continuing the beloved “Mystery Weekend,” and each year since, they have brought fresh, original scripts to life for our guests, raising the bar for theatrical magic. Frank's creative vision has become an integral part of the events at Mohonk Mountain House, weaving him right into the history and legacy of this National Historic Landmark."
-Anthony Cecconie, Senior Theme Programs Manager
Mohonk Mountain House
"From the moment I first met Frank, he not only put me at ease, but his enthusiasm for working with us was immediately clear. He quickly embraced our vision for various events, diligently doing his homework, visiting the property, and researching its history to connect with the spirit of our 150-year-old building. As a result, he delivered a production perfectly aligned with Congress Hall. He even took the time to 'write me in' as the hotel owner for our first Murder Mystery event—what a blast!"
