Rainbow Gardens Weddings in Las Vegas: A Perfect Blend of Outdoor and Indoor Beauty

When it comes to Las Vegas wedding venues, Rainbow Gardens is one of the most versatile, lush, and photography-friendly spaces in town. As a wedding photographer who has had the chance to work there many times, I’m always excited when couples choose this venue — it offers multiple backdrops, incredible service, and a welcoming, family-owned feel that’s becoming harder to find.

With multiple event spaces, beautiful natural backdrops, and amazing light both day and night, it’s a dream for couples and photographers alike.And unlike most Vegas venues, Rainbow Gardens offers lush, tropical greenery indoors — meaning you can have a garden wedding feel without worrying about the desert heat or winter chills!

The Layout: Rainbow Garden's Two Gorgeous Wedding Spaces to Choose From at One Las Vegas location

Rainbow Gardens has two main venue options: the Formal Room (paired with the Outdoor Gazebo) and the Garden Room. There’s also a Full Venue Buyout option that combines the best of both worlds.

The Outdoor Gazebo + Formal Room

If you envision a romantic outdoor ceremony, the Gazebo is stunning. During the day, the natural greenery and warm desert sunlight create a beautiful setting for your vows. At night, the uplighting transforms the gazebo into a softly glowing, magical space — making it just as stunning for evening ceremonies and portraits.

Pro tip: Right next to the gazebo is a gorgeous rock waterfall feature that photographs beautifully! Whether during daylight or after dark with the lights on, it’s a must for newlywed portraits — almost every couple I work with makes a special stop here.

Nearby, you’ll find the Formal Room, perfect for cocktail hour and indoor receptions. It’s elegant, classic, and easy to personalize with soft draping, chandeliers, and a timeless ballroom feel.

The Garden Room: An Indoor Tropical Escape

The Garden Room is truly something special. Covered in lush greenery, twinkle lights, and a bright, airy feel, it’s like stepping into a tropical oasis — without ever leaving Las Vegas.

One thing couples immediately notice (and love) is how fresh and serene the Garden Room feels when you first walk in. It has a spa-like quality — calming, fresh, and vibrant — that sets a peaceful tone before the party really gets started.

Another thing that makes the Garden Room truly unique in Las Vegas is its ability to offer lush greenery without battling the desert heat. While many Vegas venues have beautiful outdoor spaces, Rainbow Gardens gives you that vibrant, tropical feel — all indoors and climate-controlled. Especially during the hotter months, it’s a huge bonus for couples who want the beauty of nature without sacrificing comfort for them or their guests.

From a photography standpoint, it’s hard to beat: whether it’s romantic, softly lit portraits or late-night dancing under the twinkle lights, the Garden Room photographs beautifully at all hours of the day.

Full Venue Buyout: The Best of Every Space

For couples who want a dynamic and elevated guest experience, Rainbow Gardens offers a full venue buyout. This option gives you access to all the spaces, creating a beautiful progression through the day:

• Outdoor ceremony at the gazebo

• Cocktail hour in the Formal Room

• Grand reception reveal in the Garden Room

Bonus tip: If the weather isn’t ideal (too hot, chilly, or windy), having the full venue gives flexibility for wedding party and formal portraits indoors in the lush Garden Room before guests transition to the reception. It’s a fantastic backup plan that still delivers beautiful photos.

Extra Touches That Make Photos Even More Magical

Rainbow Gardens also offers several upgrades that add extra wow-factor to your photos & big day:

• Dancing on a Cloud: A low-lying fog effect during your first dance that creates the illusion of floating — romantic and dreamy.

• Marquee Letters: Oversized light-up letters (like your initials or “LOVE”) are a bold, fun statement behind your sweetheart table or on the dance floor.

• Customized Photo Booth: Always a fun reception or cocktail hour activity and keepsake photo for your guests!

These little extras aren’t required — but they definitely bring a little extra sparkle to your photos and your guests' experience.

More Reasons to Love Rainbow Gardens as a Couple

Rainbow Gardens has been a part of the Las Vegas wedding community for over 20 years, and their experience shines.

Couples have access to the venue starting at 10:00 AM for decorating, photos, and getting ready, which gives you the freedom to design and enjoy your day without feeling rushed. Plus, their office remains open during regular business hours, so help is available throughout the day — not just right before your ceremony.

It’s a venue where you can relax knowing that both you and your vendors (3rd party & preferred) are fully supported. Working with a team that’s genuinely invested in making your day smooth makes a huge difference, and it shows here!
