Hilltop began with a simple idea: create a space where people can gather, celebrate, and enjoy something truly special. Set on the former grounds of Top O’ the Hill golf course, the property has long been a place where people come together, originally rooted in a vision that spans generations.

​

 

Brian and Marlis carried that vision forward, shaping Hilltop into the venue it is today. Through their care, hard work, and commitment to the property, it became known for its relaxed atmosphere, beautiful setting, and memorable experiences. That foundation continues to guide everything we do.

​

Today, Hilltop is proudly owned and operated by Brenda and Tim Walter.

​

Brenda’s path to weddings came unexpectedly. After working at Hilltop for three years, and with three of her own daughters getting married within a single year, what started as a job quickly turned into a passion. With over 30 years of experience working with people, from catering and bartending to hairdressing and supporting families as a newborn coach, Brenda brings a natural ability to connect, care, and create meaningful experiences. She has always loved bringing people together and never wants to miss a good celebration.

​

Tim brings a strong, steady presence behind the scenes. With a background in construction, landscaping, and mechanical work, he has a deep appreciation for the property and takes pride in maintaining the space to the highest standard. He values hard work, time with family, and, when he can, a good game of hockey.

​

Together, Brenda and Tim share a commitment to continuing what Hilltop has always been about: a place where people feel welcomed, supported, and excited to celebrate. As a family with five children and now grandchildren, they understand just how meaningful these moments are.

​

Set just north of Sylvan Lake, Hilltop offers a setting that is both elevated and easygoing. From intimate garden ceremonies to celebrations by the pond, to taking in the incredible lake views, the space is designed to feel special without ever feeling overdone.

At Hilltop, we know your wedding is more than just a day. It is a reflection of your life, your people, and your story. We are here to help you bring it all together in a way that feels true to you.
