Hi all - has anyone done any event planning/ event program management consulting? If so, what range do you charge per hour?

As a Corporate/Special Event Organzier, I don't charge for brainstorming a idea for an event. I charge for planning and organizing the event. I believe that if the potiential client contacts me and takes advantage of my FREE INITITIAL CONSULTATION I will seal the deal and have them on contract by the end of out consultation. That is when my fees are applied.
I charge a fee for organizing the event. Depending on the organization, I will look at charging either a flat fee or a percentage of the gross income. Either way the client will be required to pay for the retainer and to provide at least 50% of the projected gross income or of the flat rate. The balance is due at the day of the event. Again depending on the organization if it is a gross payment, calulations would have to be completed to know exactly what is owed so that will take no longer the 48 hours. All others are due prior to the event in full!
Hope this helps,

Is anyone here a freelance event planner? I have been in the corporate setting, but looking to potentially start my own venture. Would love to speak with someone who did the same.

What is your favorite restaurant in Boston?
Stephanie Springer:
I've been a fan of Craigie on Main for years. And I love Oleana (as does everyone else who has replied!)

I have to say Neptune Oyster in the North End. If you like seafood, you won't regret it if you haven't been. Try everything on the menu.
