Okay, let’s tackle this. So Carole Ross has 37 years of experience as a wedding officiate and event planner. This is a long-term role with a single company, Ceremonies Remembered. Location is San Diego, California, which has a relatively high cost of living. Industry standards for wedding officiants and event planners in the US vary widely, but a common range is $50-$150 per hour. Considering her extensive experience and local location, I’ll estimate her rate to be on the lower end of this range, around $75 per hour.
