Okay, let’s tackle this. So Joanne has 45 years of experience in event management, which is a long time. She’s been running her own business, natural wonders, for that entire time. Location is Redmond, Washington, which is a tech hub. Event management professionals with her level of experience, especially in the non-profit or small business sectors, typically charge lower rates. Maybe around $50–$100 per hour? But considering her entrepreneurial background, maybe higher. Some event planners with similar experience might average $75–$150. So I’ll estimate around $75.
