    About This Location

    St. James' Church on Madison Avenue is the stunning filming location where Blair Waldorf married Prince Louis Grimaldi in one of Gossip Girl's most anticipated episodes. This elegant Episcopal church, with its beautiful stone architecture and intimate interior, provided the fairy-tale wedding setting that Blair had always dreamed of — even if the marriage itself was doomed from the start. The church was also used for the wedding of Tripp and Maureen van der Bilt, adding to its significance in the show's social calendar. St. James' has been a fixture of the Upper East Side since 1810, making it one of the oldest active churches in the neighborhood.
