You do all readings for a ceremony. A ceremony has a full Liturgy of the Word followed by your wedding vows. the only piece of a Mass not included in just a ceremony is the Liturgy of the Eucharist. If you are having a ceremony, you will still need an old testament reading, a responsorial psalm, a new testament reading and prayers of the faithful (the petitions).

I only had a ceremony, but they still do the two readings plus the gospel. The only difference between a ceremony and a mass is that there is no communion.
