Este Haim, bassist for the band Haim, and music producer Jonathan Levin tied the knot on New Year's Eve before enjoying a film marathon with celebrity friends the next day. The couple's post-wedding gathering at Ojai Playhouse featured classic movies curated by director Paul Thomas Anderson. Taylor Swift attended the ceremony but departed shortly after.
Este Haim, 39, and Jonathan Levin exchanged vows on New Year's Eve at Hotel El Roblar in Ojai, California, a boutique hotel closed to the public from December 30 to January 2. Haim wore a dramatic Louis Vuitton wedding gown designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, while Levin opted for brown and blue attire.
The celebration continued into New Year's Day with a movie marathon at Ojai Playhouse. Paul Thomas Anderson, director of 'One Battle After Another,' selected films from his collection for screening on 35mm film, including 'Repo Man,' 'Casablanca,' 'Barry Lyndon,' 'Casino,' 'The Birdcage,' and 'Father of the Bride.' Joining the group were Ke$ha, Maya Rudolph, Ludwig Goransson, Donald Glover, Jason Reitman, Sasha Spielberg, and Haim's siblings Danielle and Alana. The screenings wrapped up at 1 a.m.
Taylor Swift was among the guests at the wedding, arriving in a floor-length sparkling gown and colored shawl. She spent time with Stevie Nicks inside the venue. However, Swift left for Kansas City, Missouri, that afternoon and did not join the movie event. Her security detail had been spotted at the hotel on December 30, generating buzz among staff.
Reflecting on her proposal in a Vogue interview, Haim described a casual moment during a hike. 'I had Mario Badescu acne medication on, my hair was in a top knot, I had no makeup on, I was in sweats and sneakers, and we were on a hike,' she said. Levin proposed with a placeholder ring, adding, as Haim recounted, 'We need to design this ring because this is not the final thing.' She called the gesture 'really, really sweet.'
The intimate festivities highlight the couple's connections in music and film circles, blending personal milestones with shared cultural experiences.
