We’re Dana & Ethen Colvin
The husband-and-wife creative duo behind Laconic Events, a premier design studio known for immersive, statement-driven experiential design.
Our work exists at the intersection of art, architecture, and emotion. From sculptural installations to large-scale textile moments, we craft intentional experiences that are both visually striking and deeply personal.
It’s always been about more than creating something beautiful, it’s about building something meaningful. We’re endlessly inspired by the people we work with and the trust they place in us to bring their vision to life.
Our work is rooted in originality and elevated design and our process is just as thoughtful. We’re big believers in clear communication, honest collaboration, and making the journey from concept to installation feel seamless, supportive, and, dare we say… actually fun.
Marked by intentional simplicity, the art of saying more with less.
An understated, powerful expression of beauty through form, space, and restraint.

Dana Colvin
At Laconic Events, I lead with vision, intention, and an unwavering commitment to original design. With over a decade in the wedding industry, my work blends sculptural artistry and thoughtful strategy to create moments that are immersive, elevated, and entirely one-of-a-kind.
I specialize in transforming abstract ideas into refined, highly tailored experiences, from architectural installations to flowing textile moments and curated signage. Every detail I design is grounded in story, layered with texture, and built to resonate long after the celebration ends.
My approach is collaborative and clear, guiding clients through a process that feels as seamless as it does inspired. I believe in the kind of design that doesn’t just fill a space, it defines it.
I design for those who want their event to feel like a story told through structure, detail, and atmosphere.
Founder, designer & Creative Director
ethen colvin
At Laconic Events, I lead the fabrication process, translating each design into a physical structure with intention, precision, and craftsmanship. My background is entirely hands-on, shaped by years of self-taught building and rooted in traditional woodworking techniques passed down from my grandfather’s wood shop.
I bring a balance of old-school discipline and modern execution to every piece we create. Whether it’s a complex structural installation or a refined finishing detail, I focus on engineering builds that are as solid as they are striking, designed to perform, made to last.
I take pride in making the impossible feel effortless, building what hasn’t been built before, and ensuring every installation Dana dreams up is ready to come to life.
