First, thank YOU for being considerate of the organist; I'm an organist and I know what it's like to be unappreciated!
It's likely that they will have spent many hours of their own time rehearsing prior to the wedding rehearsal and ceremony so make sure you mention their preparation and if there are other instrumentalists/vocalist that they had to work with, mention that also. Tell them how their service enhanced the ceremony and made it a day to remember. If there is any one particular song that you especially enjoyed or required a lot of extra work on their part, mention that too. Overall, just be sincere.

Dear Organist,
Thank you so much for the time you spent at our wedding. Truly, it would not have been such a wonderful event, if it hadn't been for your excellent skills on the keyboard. Walking down the aisle is something that I have dreamed of since being a child, and you helped make this moment as magical as I always imagined.
Sincerely,
Victoria

Write it from the heart. Without knowing your exact experience, style, personality, etc., we can't very well write it for you!
But I can give one piece of specific advice: Write something that the organist could use as a testimonial for future work. Phrases that, if you saw that someone else wrote them about the organist would encourage you to hire them.

I don't know where to find samples but you can give the organist a card with fun and creativity. Use phrases like " Thank you for accompanying our ceremony with harmonious tones." Use a lot of words that have to do with music. It will make your organist feel more appreciated than some pre-generated wordings.

Let her know how much you appreciated her service and that it made your wedding so very memorable and special. Along the lines of:
Thank you so much for being a part of my wedding ceremony. I will never forget how memorable and special you've made this day for my husband and I.
And then send a little something with your card, like a piano playing teddy bear or some stationery with musical notes or send her some flowers.

Your biggest responsibility after getting any gift is to send a thank you note as soon as possible.
Phoning, thanking the gift giver in person or even e-mailing your thanks is not the proper way to thank someone. The person who gave you the gift took the time and cared enough to send you something. You need to return the favor by showing them that you appreciate their thought.
three important aspects of a thank you note:
1. Write your thank you notes promptly after a gift or service has been received. Thank you notes should be mailed within a few days of receiving the gift. Three months is the latest wedding thank you notes should be sent, but try to mail them out within a month.
2. Thank you notes should reflect your sincere gratefulness. Try to thank the person in the same tone you would use if you were talking to them face-to-face.
3. Personally write your thank you notes to give them a personal touch. A handwritten thank you note is also like a gift in itself. Preprinted thank you notes let guests know the gift has been received. However, you still need to follow-up with a handwritten, personal thank you note.
The outline of a typical thank-you note should begin with who it is from "Dear Mrs. Smith", "Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith", "Dear Uncle Dan" and "Dear Sue" .The first sentence begins with you and you spouses names "I would like to thank you…" or "____ and I would like to thank you…" let the recipient know who is thanking them. Mention the gift - Be as specific about it as possible. Tell the person how nice it is and why. A few descriptive words you can use when they fit the situation are: appropriate, beautiful, charming, elegant, generous, lovely, perfect, special, unique and useful.Tell them how you plan to use the gift - In the case of money gifts, you should not mention that it is a check, cash or even the exact amount of the gift. An example would be, "Your generous gift is highly appreciated. We have it earmarked for our house fund."
Thank the person again - Maybe include a personal thought about your relationship with the giver or a special memory of your wedding or event.
Close the note - Give a heartfelt closing with something like "Fondly," "Best regards," "Sincerely," "Love" or "Cordially" and sign your name.
What NOT to write in a Thank You Note
Writing thank you notes can be fun, but you need to be careful not to step on any toes in the process. Do not mention you are going to return a gift for ANY reason. Also, you should not say that you received the same gift from someone else.
Wedding thank you notes need to be mailed quickly. Try to mail thank you notes out as soon as you start receiving gifts.
Both the bride and groom should write the notes together. Sharing responsibility takes the pressure off a little. If you try to write a little each day, the whole project of writing the cards will seem less daunting.
Everyone involved in a wedding from the flower girl to the best man should receive a note. Try to remember to thank all those involved.

I think its awesome that you are trying to so hard to find the perfect words to thank your organst :-) How about this:
Dear So&So,
(insert groom's name) and I want to thank you so much for providing such exquisite organ music at our weddung. Truly, no one makes those pipes sing as sweetly as you do. The pieces you played were especially moving, and I can hink of no better accompaniment to our marriage vows than you and your music. Thanks again for adding such a special, peronal touch to our wedding ceremony. We're forever grateful to you.
Sincerely,
"Jane and Joe"

Have you tried buying an Emily Post book? I believe there is a book on wedding etiquette and also a book on writing cards and letters.
