  -> Thank you, Annabel

agree  Tina Vonhof: Given the additional context provided re the age group (30-50) and the target audience (a hotel), I think this is most appropriate.

  -> Thank you, Tina

agree  Iris Shalev: They all sound good, but given the age group, like Tina said, this would be the most fitting here I think
14 hrs
  -> Thank you, Iris

agree  Bryan Crumpler: Perhaps not the catchiest, but it's appropriate... I miss some duality however, thinking about any additional nuance the repetition of "samen" might hold or what "samen" means ("2" b-days together wrt together w/ "many" friends)

  -> Thank you, Bryan. I tried for duality, but it didn't sound right. I liked your idea, though.
