Question

What type of weather should I expect for March in Michigan?

Answer

Although our wedding day is technically the first day of spring, March in Michigan can feel a lot more like the end of winter. Michigan weather is very unpredictable at this time of year, so we highly recommend bringing a warm coat. Average temperatures are typically in the 40s, but can range from 20s - 60s.
