It seems to me that all of these sentences are grammatically correct, although stylistically I would try to avoid two "ats." The sentence that most closely matches your stated meaning is sentence 6. Number 1 would make sense, as well.
 
Betty told me to see her at the beginning of her 8 pm dinner. This avoids using "at" 2 times. You could add "hour" or "time".
