The musician wore a modest gown for her New Year’s Eve wedding, attended by celebrity guests such as Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks.
Bassist Este Haim married Jewish tech entrepreneur Jonathan Levin at Hotel El Roblar in Ojai, Calif., on Dec. 31.
Haim, 39, is the oldest of three sisters who make up the eponymous rock band, HAIM. Her sisters, Danielle and Alana, were bridesmaids in matching blue gowns. The bride wore a modest, custom Louis Vuitton gown with a removable structured jacket.
HAIM, which formed in 2007, released its first album, “Days Are Gone,” in 2013. As children, the sisters played in a family band called Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents, Mordechai (“Moti”) and Donna. Their father is a retired Israeli soccer player who played for Maccabi Jaffa and Maccabee Los Angeles, and a musician who played drums in an Israel Defense Forces band and for the Tzadikov Choir.
Levin, co-founder and current CEO of Chainalysis, was vice president of the Bristol Jewish Society at the University of Bristol in England while a student, according to his LinkedIn profile. During his leadership of the Jewish student society, Levin co-hosted and wrote a Muslim-Jewish radio show for Salaam Shalom Media.
In a 2022 testimony about digital assets and blockchain technology to the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, Levin noted that his family “fled the pogroms of Eastern Europe and Lithuania to look for a better life in the West.”
While details about the New Year’s Eve wedding ceremony remain under wraps, photos have circulated of celebrity guests Taylor Swift—HAIM has collaborated with Swift on the song “No Body, No Crime” and performed with her on stage during the latter’s recent Eras Tour—and Stevie Nicks. HAIM teased an upcoming song collaboration with the former Fleetwood Mac singer in June.
