Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson marry in New York as ‘Stranger Things’ cast turns out
Actor and musician Maya Hawke and singer-songwriter Christian Lee Hutson were married over Valentine’s Day weekend in New York City, celebrating with family and a number of Hawke’s castmates from the hit series. The ceremony blended close friends, famous faces and a low-key, intimate energy.
Family presence and familiar faces
The wedding was attended by Hawke’s parents, who have been prominent figures in her life and career. Several co-stars from the series joined the festivities, creating a notable gathering of the show’s younger ensemble: Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton and Joe Keery were all present. Their turnout underscored how close-knit many of the cast members remain offscreen.
The mood of the event was described by guests as warm and unpretentious, tailored to the couple’s shared artistic sensibilities. Friends and collaborators from both the acting and music worlds were on hand, and attendees emphasized a celebratory, supportive atmosphere rather than a showy, high-profile affair.
David Harbour absent; seen elsewhere in the city
One conspicuous absence from the ceremony was David Harbour, who plays a central role on the same series. Harbour was photographed in New York at roughly the same time as the wedding, spending Valentine’s Day weekend with a companion while the cast gathered elsewhere. Observers noted the pair walking and talking along a chilly sidewalk in the city.
Harbour’s appearance around the same time contrasted with the group’s celebration and drew attention given his high profile on the series. Recent months have seen a variety of headlines and public conversations involving Harbour, and his decision not to attend appears to have been a personal choice rather than a matter of scheduling or professional conflict.
What the union signals for Hawke and Hutson
Maya Hawke, who rose to broader public attention through her acting and music, and Christian Lee Hutson, an established singer-songwriter, have both cultivated careers that cross creative disciplines. Their marriage brings together two artists who share an appreciation for intimate storytelling and collaborative work, and guests said the ceremony reflected that sensibility.
For Hawke, the gathering offered a moment to celebrate with longtime collaborators and friends from the series that helped elevate her public profile. For Hutson, the event marked a milestone in a life increasingly intertwined with high-profile creative communities. The couple’s choice to keep the ceremony primarily personal — with friends and family at the core — suggested a preference for meaningful connection over spectacle.
As the newlyweds begin married life, their careers are likely to continue in parallel: Hawke balancing acting and music projects, Hutson continuing his songwriting and performance work. Attendees described the reception as relaxed and joyful, a night focused on close company and artistic camaraderie.
While the cast’s presence highlighted longstanding friendships, Harbour’s separate evening in the city served as a reminder that even tightly knit groups can have divergent paths and personal choices. The wedding itself, however, was characterized by warmth and a clear sense that the couple and their guests were there to celebrate a new chapter together.
