Our Story

A place where
celebrations
take root.

Summer Duck Farm Weddings & Events was born from a simple belief: the most memorable moments happen where people feel genuinely at home. Nestled along NC Highway 73 in the heart of Mt Gilead, our venue offers an intimate, pastoral setting that feels worlds away — yet is only moments from town.

What began as a passion for gathering has grown into a full-service experience. We craft everything from bespoke wedding menus featuring our signature baked goods to complete event production — floral design, coordination, and every detail in between. No two celebrations look alike, and that's exactly how we like it.
