Definitely if you're getting married in a church, call them and set up am appointment now. My church was booked already for our date, so we had to go to another church.

I would say make sure you get a venue asap then focus on getting the big things done like dress, photographer, dj. I have contacted videographers for my wedding date in 8 months and some are booked already. Also make sure you look at several different venues and call ahead to make sure your date is available (unless you are willing to change your date).You don't want to fall in love with a place that doesn't have availability! We booked in September 2013 and originally wanted a certain date in september 2015 but it was already booked so we switched to may 2015.
