The Actual Southern
California Locations where the
1998 Adam Sandler comedy, "The
Wedding Singer", was filmed.
In the film, wedding singer Robbie (Adam
Sandler) lives in his sister's basement.
You'll find Robbie's sister's house
at 1075 E. Topeka Street,
in Pasadena, CA.
It's on the north side of the
street, in the north part of Pasadena (up near Altadena).
[ Warning:
This is a private home. Do not trespass on their property, knock
on their door,
or do anything else that might disturb the residents. ]
Robbie falls for Julia(Drew Barrymore), despite
the fact that both of them are engaged to other people.
You'll find Julia's
house at 43 Sierra Place,
in Sierra Madre, CA.
It's on the west side of the
street, just south of Sierra Madre Blvd.
(Sierra Madre is a small
town located northeast of Pasadena, not far from
the Santa Anita race track and the L.A. Arboretum.)

or do anything else that might disturb the residents. ]
The outdoor setting for this early wedding
(where Robbie sings) was the grassy mall at
The Huntington
Library & Gardens, at 1151 Oxford Road,
in San Marino, CA.
The Huntington is located just
south of Pasadena, on what was once the private estate of a land baron.
That grassy mall (statues and all) is located just west of the Library
and just north of the Art Museum.
The home of Robbie's rappin'
Grandma Rosie (Ellen Albertini Dow)
can be found at
1425 N. Orange Grove Ave,
in West Hollywood, CA.
It's on the west side of the
street, a few houses south of Sunset Blvd,
just over a mile east of Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
Don't expect to see the white
picket fence and roses - they were added by the producers.
(Thanks to Owen
for this one. He, in turn, got it from Lindsay
of iamnotastalker.com).

When Robbie's friend Sammy
(Allen Covert) wants to drive the limo,
Robbie puts him through an obstacle course,
complete with traffic cones and bride mannequins. That scene was filmed
in the west parking lot at Descanso Gardens - 1418 Descanso Drive,
La Canada/Flintridge, CA.
