We’re Dana & Ethen Colvin
The husband-and-wife creative duo behind Laconic Events, an experiential design studio recognized for immersive, statement-driven wedding installations.
Our work lives at the intersection of art, architecture, and emotion. From sculptural installations and large-scale textile moments to architectural bars and design-forward signage, we create intentional environments that anchor the celebration and shape the experience.
Design, for us, is about more than aesthetics, it’s about meaning. Each project is guided by a deep understanding of our clients’ vision and brought to life through refined artistry and an uncompromising attention to detail.
Our process is collaborative, clear, and grounded in trust, ensuring a seamless journey from concept to installation.
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 & textile artist

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.
