Okay, let’s tackle this. So Melissa has skills in event planning, project management, corporate events, catering, and more. She’s based in Greater Boston, which is a hub for event and hospitality professionals. According to industry benchmarks, event planners and coordinators in the Boston area can charge around $50–$100 per hour for basic services. However, considering her diverse skillset and experience, I’d estimate her rate to be on the higher end of that range. Maybe around $75 per hour, considering the demand for event and hospitality services in the area.
