Reviews for Fogo Island Inn
The most spectacular micro wedding!
We were looking for a one of a kind, intimate experience for our closest friends and family. The Inn went above and beyond to deliver top notch service and food for the wedding and throughout our stay.
This was a truly exceptional experience and we couldn’t have dreamed of anything more!
To anyone who is thinking about booking their wedding (or a vacation) at the Inn, I would highly recommend it.
Our Elopement at the Fogo Island Inn
As you spend time at the Inn, it is obvious that a tremendous amount of thought has gone into every detail. If you love design, you will love the Inn. If you love nature, you will love the Inn. If you love feeling taken care of, you will love the Inn.
Without exception, everyone at the Inn was lovely. They didn't feel like staff, they felt like new friends - new friends who were willing to do whatever it took to make our stay memorable.
The food bears special mention. Local ingredients coupled with time honored techniques resulted in an extraordinary culinary experience. Not only was everything delicious, but the meals left us feeling connected to the local culture and the island itself - something neither Jen nor I had ever felt before. Hats off to Tim, Andrew, Kim and the whole team.
All the details around our actual wedding were handled expertly and the ceremony itself was just perfect. Quiet, simple, meaningful. It was exactly what we wanted.
Fogo Island Inn offers an unparalleled destination and experience. It is adventure. It is luxury. It is thoughtful connection to the island. It was the perfect place, the perfect way, to start our adventure as husband and wife. Our hearts are full!
Truly life-changing
The best wedding destination imaginable

Stepping into another dimension...
With the Inn being 30 ft wide and 300 ft long, you get this feeling of being on a ship. To add to that illusion, the landscape changes dramatically from one moment to the next, feeling like you are slowly floating across the edge of the world.
The inn's staff provide a warm and genuine hospitality that comes from a local. Not the cold ninja-like precision and perfection version of hospitality of other 5 star hotels.
Food & Beverage is second to none in Canada, with executive chef Jonathan Gushue at the helm. Again, I have to bring in the people and community aspect of the Inn. Our guests spent time with Nicole, the pastry chef that baked our cake, to learn about jam jarring and preserves. Some other guests craving for more even had time with Jonathan himself to talk about the food philosophy of the Inn and traditional ways they preserve food in this time of year. It this connection with the service staff that elevates the experience here that makes it more personal and authentic.
The Inn had struck a nearly perfect balance between stitching old world traditions with contemporary (might I say modern) philosophies of today. You're left dumbfounded at the care absolutely everything at the inn represents.
The planning aspect was very professional and responsive. As we never toured the venue before, the staff was great at providing input and ideas to make our day the best it could be. Incredibly flexible in non-traditional requests when it comes to the schedule, activities and food/beverage.
The Inn surprised us with extras that were meaningful, not just for the sake of "extras". Many guests loved the aprons they wore during the cooking demo, and the Inn was able to provide guests with a surprise apron in their departure bags as a gift. Florals and decor were brought in but maintained the minimalist feel that Michael and I were looking for.
The magical experience at the Inn is truly the most remarkable place to hold your wedding. I highly recommend it to anyone that loves Canada, would like the money they spend on their wedding to go to a good cause, and understands that sometimes you have to get away to the edge of the world to pay attention to your heart and the people you love.
BTW, the cost is really just the cost of the rooms, there are no additional charges...
It can be difficult planning a wedding at the "ends of the earth" from a distance, but the Inn's staff were amazing. They executed everything we asked for perfectly and seamlessly, and thought of many small and thoughtful touches that would never have even occurred to us. They also made us feel very special, and truly a part of their family. In short, this is a magical place and we are very lucky to have found it.
A wonderful place for wedding and great team to communicate!
You’ll have to stay at the hotel for at least here nights but I didn’t feel like wasted any time. Even staying at the hotel there are a lot of things to enjoy after the wedding event.
The foods were awesome and are provided with many options. The wedding package includes a cake with local berrys which is delicious! The service is at the top level. I would definitely recommend this place for other couples if it’s within your budget. I will be surprised if people feel regret after selecting this place for a wedding.

I am the initial contact for all corporate group events at Fogo Island Inn.
I work with individuals, meeting planners, and everyone inbetween to ensure an amazing experience for you and all of your guests - and memories to last a lifetime.
As the Executive Chef, I lead Fogo Island Inn's culinary team. We use ingredients dictated by Fogo Island’s still-wild world to create dishes that are grounded in this place. Changing daily and with our seven seasons, the dining menu reflects the region: perched in the Labrador current, our subarctic landscape is bounded on all sides by the rich North Atlantic.
Here, food is the medium through which nature and culture come together to form an absolute expression of locality. Tasked with representing Fogo Island’s foodways through contemporary cuisine, our kitchen team adds human knowledge to natural offerings to reflect a place-specific identity tangled up in food.
