Based in Galway City, Connaught (1 mile from Galway) 22nd September 2026 Alex Photo of The Sheriffs of Rockin'ham The Sheriffs of Rockin'ham "The Sheriffs did a fantastic job at our wedding. They had everyone up and dancing, which was no small feat as there was a huge range of ages at our wedding. The communication before the wedding during the planning stage was great. We knew exactly what we were going to get and they couldn't have been nicer to deal with. Most importantly, they put on a great show! I would whole heartedly recommend them!"
