Sometimes love stories don’t need loud announcements. They just quietly happen… and then suddenly everyone is talking about it.
That’s exactly what happened with Maya Hawke this Valentine’s Day. While many fans were busy posting roses and heart emojis, the Stranger Things star was walking down the aisle in New York City. The news was confirmed by multiple major outlets, and yes — it is real and verified. Maya married musician Christian Lee Hutson in a romantic church ceremony that felt personal, artistic and full of heart.
Let’s go step by step, because there’s actually more to this wedding than people first realized.
Where Did Maya Hawke Get Married?
Maya and Christian tied the knot on February 14 (Valentine’s Day) at St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan. Choosing Valentine’s Day already made the moment feel symbolic, like something out of a movie.
After the ceremony, the newlyweds and guests walked a short distance to The Players Members Club in Manhattan, where the reception continued for hours. Reports say the couple and their close circle were even photographed on the streets of New York after the ceremony, smiling and chatting with bridesmaids and friends. It wasn’t hidden behind heavy security — it felt surprisingly open and warm.
The vibe was intimate but still star-studded. Not over-the-top. Just meaningful.
Who Attended the Wedding? A Mini Stranger Things Reunion
Fans immediately asked: Was the Stranger Things cast there?
Yes — and in full force.
Several cast members from Stranger Things attended, including:
-
Finn Wolfhard
-
Gaten Matarazzo
-
Sadie Sink
-
Natalia Dyer
-
Joe Keery
-
Caleb McLaughlin
-
Charlie Heaton
One of the Duffer Brothers was also present, which made the reunion even more special. It honestly felt like Hawkins, Indiana moved to Manhattan for one night.
Other celebrity friends spotted at the wedding included Kathryn Newton, Sam Nivola, and Iris Apatow — adding to the star-studded but still close-knit feel.
Of course, Maya’s family was there too:
-
Her father Ethan Hawke walked her down the aisle, holding a bouquet of white flowers earlier in the day.
-
Her mother Uma Thurman attended in a soft blue floral gown.
-
Her brother Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke was also present.
It marked a rare public appearance of Ethan and Uma together. They were married from 1998 to 2005, and seeing them united for their daughter’s wedding felt emotional for many fans.
For context, Maya is their eldest child. Ethan also has daughters Clementine and Indiana with wife Ryan Shawhughes Hawke, while Uma shares daughter Luna with former fiancé Arpad Busson. So this wedding truly brought together a blended, supportive family.
What Did Maya Hawke Wear? Full Wedding Look Explained
Fashion lovers were searching every detail of her bridal look.
Maya wore a white gown with a structured column bodice and sleeveless design. The neckline was a soft bateau style, and the waistline sat slightly low with an embellished bow detail. The skirt was voluminous silk-taffeta layered with tulle, creating movement and drama without being overwhelming. It also featured an asymmetric hem and a long train trailing behind her.
Because it was February in New York, she paired the gown with an oversized cropped winter coat. The coat had embroidered trim, full-length sleeves, an open front, and a bow detail at the back. It added a playful, artistic touch that felt very “Maya.”
Her accessories were minimal — delicate rings and onyx diamond earrings. Her hair was styled in a side-parted braided bun, swept back neatly. Makeup stayed soft: feathered brows, light mascara, blushed cheeks, glossy pink lips, and a natural dewy base. Nothing heavy. Nothing dramatic. Just elegant.
Christian kept things classic in a notch-lapel black tuxedo with padded shoulders and a tailored fit. He layered it with a crisp white shirt and a double-breasted white waistcoat. Black straight-fit pants, polished dress shoes, and a floral brooch completed his look.
Simple. Clean. Timeless.
How Did Maya and Christian’s Love Story Begin?
This is where the story becomes even more interesting.
Maya and Christian were friends for about four years before their relationship turned romantic. They were first publicly linked in 2023 when they were photographed sharing a kiss in New York City. But insiders say their connection started long before that through music.
Christian, 35, is an indie singer-songwriter who has released three albums co-produced by Phoebe Bridgers. He and Maya have worked closely together creatively:
-
He collaborated on Maya’s album “Moss.”
-
He also worked on her 2024 album “Chaos Angel.”
-
Maya sang on his album “Paradise Pop. 10.”
-
She even joined him during parts of his 2025 tour.
In interviews, Maya has spoken openly about how supportive he has been in her music journey. In one conversation in 2024, she shared that he helped her transition from feeling like “a poet in a band” to fully owning her identity as a musician.
The couple made their red carpet relationship official at the Broadway opening night of John Proctor Is the Villain in April 2025.
Maya has also said something that fans still talk about. She mentioned on a podcast that dating a friend is “the best,” because they already understand you as a full human being, not just an idea of who you should be. That honesty makes their marriage feel grounded, not rushed.

Why This Wedding Feels So Real
In a world where celebrity weddings often become huge brand events, this one felt personal. There was glamour, yes — but it didn’t feel commercial.
It felt like two creative people who built something slowly. Friends first. Collaborators next. Then partners.
Maybe that’s why fans are reacting with genuine happiness instead of gossip. It doesn’t feel like a headline made for clicks. It feels like a natural next chapter.
And honestly, that’s kind of refreshing.
