I think there should be an exemption for any ceremony that might be religious in nature. You would allow a business to only provide services for ceremonies that they believed in. So a Jewish business that specialized in only Jewish weddings would be able to bypass an anti-discrimination law...
What I think Anthony Kennedy (and he's the one that will probably write the opinion) will do is carve out a special area of only weddings, because that's what all of these cases have in common, and allow a business to cater to only some ceremonies.
This way, you can allow for anti-discrimination statutes, but at the same time provide a delicate balance because the issue of gay marriage may conflict with religious views about marriage.
This is what I hope Justice Kennedy will do. A narrow ruling concerning religious ceremonies, instead of one sweeping ruling one way or the other. It fits with his kind of jurisprudence.
