The Wedding Website of Mher Mkrtchian and Anna Martirosyan
We are so excited to welcome you to Gyumri, a city with over 2,500 years of history and a spirit that feels timeless. Often called the cultural capital of Armenia, Gyumri is known for its distinctive architecture built from black volcanic tuff stone, earning it the nickname “the city of black stone.” Located near the historic western border of what was once home to our great grandparents, the city has withstood centuries of change and rebuilding while never losing its creativity, sense of humor, or strong sense of community. It is a place where history and love feel deeply rooted, making it a particularly meaningful setting for our celebration. And, of course, Gyumri holds a special place in our hearts for another reason—it’s where Anna was born and raised! So if you notice an extra sparkle in her eye as she shows you around, now you’ll know why. This page is here to make your journey as smooth as possible, from planning your travels to choosing where to stay.

Flight

Zvartnots International Airport (EVN)Zvartnots International Airport (EVN)

Guests traveling from the United States should plan to fly into Zvartnots International Airport (EVN) in Yerevan, Armenia. Citizens of the United States and European Union countries do not need a visa for tourist visits to Armenia. The estimated total travel time is approximately 16–22 hours, depending on your departure city and connections. We strongly suggest booking flights at least one month in advance for better availability and pricing. There are no direct flights to Armenia and most routes include at least one connection, commonly through major European or Middle Eastern hubs. Our recommended airlines are Air France, Austrian Airlines, and Lufthansa. Once in Yerevan, Gyumri is about 2–2.5 hours by car. For your convenience, we will be providing complimentary transportation via a private chartered bus that we call the Urakh Avtobus (see below) on August 6 at 2:00 PM.

Travel Note

Guests Traveling from the United StatesGuests Traveling from the United States

For those joining us from the United States, we suggest arriving in Armenia at least four nights before the wedding. This will give you plenty of time to settle in, adjust to the time difference, and enjoy some of what Armenia has to offer. Start your adventure with two nights in Yerevan, the vibrant capital known for its lively café culture, beautiful pink stone buildings, and long, golden summer evenings. Take a walk through the Cascade Complex for sweeping city views and striking art installations, watch the sunset at Republic Square, and wander through local markets and boutiques. Yerevan’s food scene is not to be missed—try Dolmama for a modern take on Armenian classics, Sherep for traditional dishes and live music, and Lavash for a warm, authentic introduction to local flavors.
