I have planned events in the past and you definitely have to have great organizational skills and be very resourceful. It can also consume your time, especially if you have a demanding client who requires perfection. I think it should receive a higher rate.

However, if you do not have prior experience in event planning I would probably not increase my rate until I had a few satisfied customers under my belt who could back up the increased rate by providing a glowing referral.
