Transform Your Event with Unforgettable Music
I offer music for weddings, funerals, concerts, and worship services. With over 35 years of experience, I currently serve as the Director of Music at First Presbyterian Church of Freehold, NJ, where I am the head organist and pianist. I direct choirs, handbell groups, and a youth brass/wind ensemble. I also direct two community handbell choirs and have published several organ, piano and choral works. My church choir has performed at Carnegie Hall, showcasing our musical excellence. Explore my hymn arrangements on my YouTube channel. (Link available upon request.)

December 10, 2024So happy to have had John Cavicchio come to our church to perform his beautiful organ arrangements on our sanctuary organ. He is a very gifted organist, who loves God and whose music raises the heart to God.
Very professional and very personable ..

Thank you so much for your kind words and for welcoming me so warmly to your wonderful church. It was truly a blessing to play on your beautiful organ and to share music that inspires and uplifts. I received so many blessings from everyone there and was especially touched by the Bishop's wonderful message and words of encouragement.
The evening was a joy from start to finish, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of such a meaningful experience. I hope to return in the future! I pray God blesses you and your congregation in a mighty way.
In Christ's Love,
John Cavicchio

March 17, 2019John did a wonderful job! The organ music was spectacular - it was a great pleasure for the congregation of The historic First Presbyterian Church of New Vernon to hear their organ played with great skill and emotion - it greatly added to the entire experience of the event!

March 9, 2019We hired John for our Wedding Ceremony on 3/3/19. John communicated everything to us beforehand and left us with no worries whatsoever. Many of our guests also complimented him. Very professional. Thank you, John, for being a part of our Special day. Would highly recommend.

November 28, 2018Was totally flexible and confident through out the whole process of preparation for the wedding day and rehersal. Extremely professional. Switched for one song on piano because we liked the song on piano when we originally only asked for an organist. Changed the day before to a different organ when one was not working. Played absolutely beautifully through out the ceremony with equipment he had only practiced on one night before. I am so glad we found him and he helped make our day a very special day.
