Wedding Singer Wakefield – Live Acoustic Music for Your Wakefield Wedding
Wakefield’s got this brilliant mix of Yorkshire grit and unexpected elegance — mills turned venues, grand estates tucked away behind quiet lanes, and those big-sky views you only get on this side of West Yorkshire. It’s a place that’s constantly surprising couples… and I absolutely love playing here.
I’m Steven Heath, indie-acoustic wedding singer and loop-pedal one-man-band, and I’ve spent over a decade performing at weddings across Wakefield — from intimate ceremonies in historic buildings to full-on evening parties where the dance floor never stops moving.
WEDDING MUSIC LIKE YOU'VE NEVER HEARD IT
"Music belongs in a place where there are hearts beating, and brains dreaming, and people falling in love, and people crying, and people wondering what the hell to do or wanting to fly."
Jeff Buckley
Why Wakefield Weddings Hit Different
Wakefield is a bit of a shapeshifter. One minute you’re in the city centre, the next you’re at a lake with swans wandering past like they own the place. It gives couples this amazing choice of vibes — rustic, industrial, modern, traditional, all within 10 minutes of each other.
Some of my favourite places I’ve performed include:
Waterton Park Hotel
A venue literally on an island. Honestly — you cross a bridge to get to the ceremony. It feels magical every time, and the acoustics in the old hall are gorgeous for stripped-back guitar and vocal moments.
Beautiful hotel with a large function suite and gorgeous surrounding gardens.
Nostell Priory & The Riding School
Grand but never stuffy. The courtyard makes a cracking drinks-reception spot, and evening sets in the Riding School feel properly cinematic.

Artists I Cover at Wakefield Weddings
One of the best things about Wakefield crowds is that they love a good mix — a bit indie, a bit classic, a bit unexpected. My set lists are all built around the artists couples genuinely connect with, and because I use loop pedals and harmonies, even the big tracks feel intimate and personal.
You’ll hear songs from:
🎸 Arctic Monkeys, Oasis, Coldplay, The Killers – indie favourites that always land well in West Yorkshire
💛 George Ezra, Ed Sheeran, Vance Joy – modern acoustic crowd-pleasers
🎤 Adele, Lewis Capaldi, Sam Smith – big emotional ceremony moments
🎶 Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, The Beatles – timeless classics for any generation
✨ Plus all the tunes your guests shout at me mid-set (and I’ll play most of them)
Wakefield weddings tend to have a brilliant mix of ages and personalities, so I build your soundtrack around your taste — not just a standard playlist. Whether you’re indie kids, 80s lovers, or want an acoustic twist on something unexpected, I’ve probably covered it… and if I haven’t, I’ll learn it.
