The Everything Jewish Wedding Book lists 4 different options:
1. Traditional: Follows all Orthodox Jewish traditions
2. Contemporary: Combines traditional and modern Jewish elements
3. Informal: Can be held in other places besides the synagogue, with dressy daytime attire and a smaller guest list
4. Formal: Can be held in other places besides the synagogue, with formal evening attire and a large guest list.
For non-Orthodox Jews, there are an unlimited number of options, but if they want the ceremony performed by a Rabbi, they may have to follow some guidelines.
