A magical and unforgettable elopement at the Fogo Island Inn
Our elopement at the Fogo Island Inn in October 2024 was magical, timeless, and unforgettable - made extraordinary by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff at the Inn.
The planning process was seamless. From initial consultations to final meetings, we felt at ease during every step. The staff at the Inn are very adaptable and creative; they completely reorganized our entire wedding day when the weather called for rain and high winds. During the planning process, they accounted for these different weather scenarios too, so we always felt like there was a plan for each possibility. The day was still so perfect that we didn’t even notice the weather outside.

From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by a warmth that made us feel like family. Every detail was attended to with care and thoughtfulness. The meals and cocktails were impeccable, and the team was understanding and flexible with our dietary restrictions.
Beyond the professionalism of the team at the Inn, their generosity truly stood out - they took the time to learn about us and our story, making the entire experience deeply personal and meaningful. Fogo Island Inn is more than just a beautiful venue for a wedding; it’s a place where you feel like you can fall in love all over again, and be truly connected with those that you love.-

One of a kind wedding destination
Fogo Island Inn could not have been more perfect for our small wedding (10 guests) in August 2024. From the moment we arrived at the Inn, our family members appreciated why we chose this special destination. We took full advantage of the many available activities, including a boat trip to Little Fogo Island, hikes, and biking. The island guides went above and beyond to introduce our guests to the beauty and history of the island. Throughout our stay we had delicious meals in various beautiful rooms around the Inn. The rainy day of our wedding ceremony, everyone helped us pivot from our outdoor plans to a warm, intimate indoor ceremony. We were able to get in a cocktail hour...Fogo Island Inn could not have been more perfect for our small wedding (10 guests) in August 2024.

The rainy day of our wedding ceremony, everyone helped us pivot from our outdoor plans to a warm, intimate indoor ceremony. We were able to get in a cocktail hour outdoors, followed by an incredible feast in the crab shed. Every detail – from the wildflowers, the beautiful music, the crab leg cracking lesson, to the signature berry wedding cake – was taken care of by the amazing staff at the Inn. Thank you to Jessica, who was so easy to work with on planning our event, and to Jenny, who flawlessly handled all of the on-site logistics. We hope to get back to the Inn to celebrate an anniversary in the future!Fogo Island Inn's reply:

A wonderful place for wedding and great team to communicate!
It was a wonderful experience to have an elopement at Fogo Island Inn. The hotel is spectacular with beautiful views and the most amazing part is the team at the hotel. I always feel free comfortable to communicate with the coordinator Jessica, who’s very considerate and always thinks two steps ahead of us. The day of coordinator Jenny is also very nice and helps a lot when dealing with changes such as flight delays.
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...It was a wonderful experience to have an elopement at Fogo Island Inn. The hotel is spectacular with beautiful views and the most amazing part is the team at the hotel.

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.-

The perfect way to get married
I can’t put into words how special our elopement at the inn was. It’s a magical place with beautiful people and an intimacy that I don’t think could possibly be matched any other way. I will never forget how beautiful and special our day (and our stay) was with the Inn.I can’t put into words how special our elopement at the inn was.

The most spectacular micro wedding!
We are so grateful to Jessica and the entire team at the Fogo Island Inn for hosting us for our 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!

What an amazing experience
My husband and I eloped at the Inn in October, 2021. It was everything we could have hoped for and more.

Our Elopement at the Fogo Island Inn
Jen and I eloped at the Fogo Island Inn and could not be more happy. From the moment our helicopter touched down, we knew we were in for a unique and special experience. As our stay unfolded, we kept pinching ourselves. It was so good, it was almost hard to believe it was real!
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...Jen and I eloped at the Fogo Island Inn and could not be more happy.

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!-

Fogo Island Inn is a spectacular place for a weeding.
Fogo Island Inn was an absolutely spectacular and peaceful "place") to get married. We were married there, just out front of the property by the ocean and it is something we will always remember. The service was above and beyond and there was nothing they could or would not do for us as the catered to our every need. It was mid September and the weather was perfect. We relive the trip and event each time we look at the photos and cannot wait to return.Fogo Island Inn was an absolutely spectacular and peaceful "place") to get married.

Truly life-changing
I can't even begin to sum up what it is to be married at the Fogo Island Inn, except to say it is life-changing. While we were there, I described it as feeling like we were being adopted into an incredibly warm, kind, resourceful family, resulting in healing for myself, my husband, and our guests that we didn't even realize we needed. Fogo Island Inn is a gorgeous building in a stunning location that feels like a mix of Maine and Ireland, but what makes the experience is the people who you meet and who help you throughout your stay. The people are warmer than anyone I've ever met, organized but not strict, accommodating while still maintaining an environment...I can't even begin to sum up what it is to be married at the Fogo Island Inn, except to say it is life-changing.

The people are warmer than anyone I've ever met, organized but not strict, accommodating while still maintaining an environment that is comfortable for everyone. They knew guests by name, tracked individuals' preferences, and anticipated requests. We traveled with our parents, a couple of our closest friends, and their three-year-old daughter. Everyone - every single person - felt that the experience had astronomically exceeded every expectation, from picking our own floral bouquets to the mind-blowing seafood reception dinner, lovely live music, and little touches. I can't recommend the Inn enough. We are so excited to have the family of the Inn as a part of our story and are aching for our next visit.Fogo Island Inn's reply:
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of this very special, intimate celebration of love! It was truly our honour to have you all and to help make your wedding day and weekend a memorable one. We certainly look forward to welcoming you all back soon. Congratulations once again! -

The best wedding destination imaginable
It's hard to put into words how special Fogo Island Inn was to host our wedding. From the epic location, to stunning accommodations, top notch food + beverage, thoughtful guest experience - it was beyond our wildest dreams. Most importantly, the service we received and the people we worked with was nothing I have every experienced before. The entire staff leading up to the big event and during the two-day buy out when we accommodated all of our guests went above and beyond to make everything happen so seamlessly. The staff at the Inn treat you like family. They genuinely care about your experience and want you to enjoy yourself to the fullest. I would tell anyone even considering...It's hard to put into words how special Fogo Island Inn was to host our wedding.

I would tell anyone even considering to have their wedding there to DO IT. All of our family and friends are still raving about the event, though many of them had to travel far and wide to make it happen. It's worth the travel and coordination and we will celebrate anniversaries at the Inn in years to come.
