Most scenes of the romantic comedy were filmed in Rhode Island, specifically in Jamestown and Providence. One of the main filming locations was an eight-bedroom summer house called «Riven Rock» in Jamestown. This picturesque house served as the backdrop for many important moments in the film. The region surrounding Jamestown is known for its beautiful coastal landscapes with stunning views of the ocean and nearby islands. In addition to Jamestown, some scenes were also filmed in Providence. For example, the opening scene was shot at the «Seven Stars Bakery».
