Okay, let’s tackle this. So Desire has a mix of skills that are useful in event planning, like customer service, social media, and hospitality. She also has Microsoft Office skills, which is a plus. However, her education and experience don’t seem to be in the event planning field. She’s in Boston, which is a competitive market. Considering her skills and location, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $45, which is on the lower end of the scale for event planners in this area. Maybe $50–$75 per hour, but her skillset and experience don’t quite justify that level.
