How and where the wedding actually happened
Maya Hawke’s wedding took place on February 14, 2026, at St. George’s Episcopal Church on Stuyvesant Square in Manhattan, according to CNN’s coverage of the ceremony. Hawke, who played Robin Buckley across Stranger Things’ final three seasons, married musician Christian Lee Hutson, with a reception following at the nearby Players Club.
Multiple outlets, including UPI and the New York Post, confirmed the Valentine’s Day timing was deliberate rather than coincidental — a detail that fit the general tone of a wedding several outlets described as intimate despite its high-profile guest list. Hawke wore a sleeveless white gown with a full skirt and veil, later photographed walking through the city in a ruffled version of the look paired with a feathered coat, while Hutson wore a traditional black tuxedo.
Which Stranger Things stars showed up
Maya Hawke’s wedding drew a genuine cluster of her former castmates. According to People’s reporting, cited across CNN, UPI, and Yardbarker, the attendees included Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Sadie Sink, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, and Joe Keery — seven actors spanning nearly the entire run of the show’s ensemble, from characters introduced in season 1 through Hawke’s own arrival in season 3.
Hawke’s family was well represented too. Her parents, Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, both attended, along with her younger brother Levon Roan Thurman-Hawke, who himself later joined the Stranger Things cast for its fifth and final season. Additional guests included Sam Nivola, Hawke’s costar from 2023’s “Maestro,” and Kathryn Newton, who appeared alongside her in the 2017 television adaptation of “Little Women.”
“I cannot recommend highly enough dating your friends,” Hawke said of her relationship with Hutson during an appearance on The Zach Sang Show. “It’s the best.”
Who was missing, and what that might mean
Maya Hawke’s wedding guest list also drew attention for who wasn’t photographed at the event. According to Yahoo’s coverage, Millie Bobby Brown and Noah Schnapp were both notably absent, a detail multiple outlets flagged specifically given how central both actors were to the show’s ensemble. A separate report from Yahoo’s celebrity desk listed additional absences, including David Harbour, Winona Ryder, and Jamie Campbell Bower.
Coverage was careful not to overstate the significance of those absences. Yahoo’s reporting noted directly: “if you’re a Stranger Things superfan you don’t need to worry: there are no official reports of any falling out or on-set drama.” The same piece did point out one detail feeding speculation about distance within parts of the cast — no one from the Stranger Things ensemble attended Millie Bobby Brown’s own wedding to Jake Bongiovi, aside from Matthew Modine, who officiated that ceremony.
How Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson’s relationship began
Maya Hawke’s wedding capped a relationship that developed gradually out of a genuine creative partnership. According to Yahoo’s reporting, Hawke and Hutson, a singer-songwriter and former member of The Driftwood Singers, first connected through music, collaborating on songs together for several years before their romance became public. Hutson worked on Hawke’s albums “Moss” and “Chaos Angel,” while Hawke contributed to his own record, “Paradise Pop 10.”
CNN’s coverage traced the relationship’s earlier visibility back to December 2023, when the Daily Mail published a photo of the two embracing in public, though the couple didn’t make their first official red carpet appearance together until a Broadway opening in April 2025. By the time of their February 2026 wedding, the two had spent years building both a professional and personal relationship before finally making it official in front of a guest list that doubled, for one afternoon, as a partial Stranger Things reunion.
