has anyone had information about rainbow gardens or the secret garden wedding venue?

I'm trying to decide between rainbow gardens which is a indoor wedding venue and the secret garden wedding venue which is outdoor for the ceremony and indoor for the reception. It will be a june wedding starting the ceremony around 7:00. So, for the outdoor ceremony everyone will be in shade however I'm wondering if it will be too much for my guests outside. I also can't find a lot of reviews on these 2 places. Has anyone been to a wedding at one of these places or has anyone been a bride at one of these places?

I went to a wedding at A Secret Garden and the location was very nice, with a lovely fountain and gazebo.

Here comes the "but..."

They don't have a parking lot (you park on a dirt area in front of the entrance) and the reception food was...well, let's say I had a better meal at MickeyD's after the wedding.

I am getting married at rainbow gardens next month, and as of right now, i am SO pleased with everything.  I wanted an outdoor wedding too, but the garden room there is wonderful, especially at night with all the lights throughout the trees,.  Also, all the plants are living so it looks really nice. I have had a very nice planning experience with them and they have been really helpful with anything ive needed.  I HIGHLY recommend them.

HOW WAS Rainbow gardens? I am looking into this place and wanted to know about the area and the services. They are so reasonably priced I want to make sure it is not too good to be true.

For any future brides considering Rainbow Gardens - My Mom and I recently went to Vegas for a quick venue round up; we were in from Phoenix. We went to the Rainbow Gardens and I will say that I liked the indoor reception space better than the outdoor garden space for the reception. The outdoor garden reception area (with white lattice and greenery) was a greenhouse and smelled musty. Although pretty in pictures, not very elegant in person. Plus, there were fake flowers on the walls going into the indoor reception area. The indoor reception area was much prettier with their decorations and lighting.  (pictures attached)

The area of the Rainbow Gardens is off the strip and not in the best neighborhood. *Tangent: My Mom and I were scared to leave our luggage in the rental car when we went to the nearby Walmart. (It didn't help that as we got out of our car to park in the Walmart parking lot, a lady in the space in front of us was on the phone saying her license plate just got stolen. 

If you Google map the location, it's right off of a major road but you really can't hear the traffic going by if married on their outside terrace - there is a lovely waterfall and tall trees that mask the noise. 

I really considered this place but ultimately decided against it because of the area and looking at other venues. I am actually thinking about the Secret Garden for my venue because of their all-inclusives (less decision making on my part).

The two other venues we are considering are Lakeside Weddings & Events and Platinum Hotel & Spa.
