Many of Rohmers films also deal with strained family relationships and awkward courtships, and often involve summer vacations. The scripts working title was Nicole at the Beach, but it was changed when Nicole Kidman signed on to avoid confusion.Margot at the Wedding was shot from April-June 2006 in various New York locations including Hampton Bays, East Quogue, Long Island and City Island, Bronx.
