Given a non-quasianalytic subadditive weight function $omega$ we consider the weighted Schwartz space $mathcal{S}_omega$ and the short-time Fourier transform on $mathcal{S}_omega$, $mathcal{S}_omega$ and on the related modulation spaces with exponential weights. In this setting we define the $omega$-wave front set $WF_omega(u)$ and the Gabor $omega$-wave front set $WF^G_omega(u)$ of $uinmathcal{S}_{omega}$, and we prove that they coincide. Finally we look at applications of this wave front set for operators of differential and pseudo-differential type.
