Early December in Detroit can be unpredictable! The average high ranges from 37°F (3°C) to 34°F (1°C), with lows dipping between 26°F (-3°C) and 25°F (-4°C). While December is one of Detroit’s snowier months, early December snowfall is usually lighter than later in the month. Expect anything from a crisp winter day to a snowy wonderland—plan accordingly!

The wedding is formal, and since it’s winter in Detroit, warmth is key!

• Ladies: Long dresses, elegant cocktail dresses, or dressy separates are all great options. Since December in Michigan can be unpredictable, we recommend closed-toe shoes and warm layers. Feel free to bring your most fabulous coat, wrap, or shawl to stay cozy.

• Gentlemen: A suit and tie is requested. Consider layering with a stylish overcoat, as it could be anywhere from brisk to downright chilly outside.

The Lafayette Grande has a large parking lot on-site, so there’s plenty of space for guests. There is also a parking lot across the street.

Detroit Metro Airport (DTW) is the nearest major airport, about 45 minutes from Pontiac. Rideshare services (Uber/Lyft) and rental cars are available at the airport. 

We've arranged a special room block for our wedding guests at Hampton Inn Detroit/Auburn Hills South. To ensure you get our discounted group rate, please make your reservation by November 15, 2025.

We love your little ones, but we’re keeping our wedding an adults-only celebration—with one exception. Since we know traveling for a wedding can be a challenge, we’re making an exception for out-of-town guests who need to bring their children. If this applies to you, please let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly!
