I do not believe that it is permissible to have a Mass at the marriage ceremony between a baptized Catholic and a unbaptized person.

Not permissable at a marriage between a baptized Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic, either.

Because of problems concerning Eucharistic sharing which may arise from the presence of non-Catholic witnesses and guests, a mixed marriage celebrated according to the Catholic form ordinarily takes place outside the Eucharistic liturgy. For a just cause, however, the diocesan Bishop may permit the celebration of the Eucharist. (Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity, Directory for the application of Principles and Norms of Ecumenism, 159)
