If someone who gets paid a fee could elaborate...this was a poster looking for an educated response....I can't help because I'm not that familiar with event photography.

That was an EDUCATED response.
Many factors lead to what I charge.
Who is hosting the event? If a non profit or something for charity I will sometimes charge NOTHING.
Most times I get paid a retainer if I do not make a set amount at the event.
Sometimes the event host pays for all services.
So as you can see it is all variable. You just have to work out a fair price with the coordinator, or donate if it is a cause that you want to help.
EDUCATED enough for you??????????
