Always Fishing Hospitality was created out of the ashes of the pandemic. Like many of us, the shift in the world drove home the importance of the moments in life shared around an incredible bite and a delicious sip. Two successful hospitality entrepreneurs were not willing to let their businesses be a part of the negative story and decided to narrate their own tale of gathering and overcoming. John Silva and Ted Wilson brought their brands and teams together to create a suite of businesses that are more powerful together than apart. Today, this new offering of seasoned hospitality, honed craft, skilled hands, and educated pallets, brings the full breadth of anything that the event industry can ask. While their team is consistently exceeding and impressing clients in their home base of the San Francisco Bay Area and North Bay restaurant, they have also found a niche helping to reinvent and rejuvenate restaurants, catering companies, and bespoke lodges across the United States. As their cornerstone, the group covers full-service event planning, catering, bar services, event design, venue management and a full-service restaurant and inn operations.

We are caterers because we don’t believe in fixed menus, fixed formats and we believe that hospitality can be driven by creativity that results in an exceptional event that solely belongs to our guests.
